Question

The media has had a tremendous influence on the twentieth century. What were the effects of the mass media on the 1920s?

Answer 1

In the 1920s, mass media largely consisted of newspapers, although radio and film began to become important new media tools during the decade. Advancements in electronic communication, from the telegraph to the telephone to wireless radio, allowed the rapid transmission of information across long distances. This allowed newspapers to receive stories from far afield and report on news as it happened. Many papers published multiple editions in a single day in order to provide the most up-to- the-minute coverage for their readership
