The American Revolution—an occasion that gave the United States its first actual "story" as an self sustaining country, particular from local and colonial origins—continues to continue to exist within the public's reminiscence, celebrated every year on July four with fireworks and different patriotic screens. yet to spot as an American is to hook up with a bigger nationwide narrative, person who starts in revolution. In Popular Media and the yank Revolution, journalism historian Janice Hume examines the ways in which generations of usa citizens have remembered and embraced the Revolution via magazines, newspapers, and electronic media.


Overall, Popular Media and the yankee Revolution demonstrates how the tale and characters of the Revolution were adjusted, tailored, and co-opted through well known media through the years, fostering a cultural identification whose founding narrative used to be sculpted, eventually, in revolution. studying press and well known media assurance of the warfare, wartime anniversaries, and the Founding Fathers (particularly, "uber-American hero" George Washington), Hume presents insights into the best way that journalism can and has formed a culture's evolving, collective reminiscence of its prior.
