  7. WRITE THIS DOWN! The Mass Media • Growth of the mass media, instruments for communicating with large numbers of people, helped form a common American popular culture during the 1920’s. • The popularity of motion pictures grew throughout the 1920s; “talkies,” or movies with sound, were introduced in 1927. • Newspapers grew in both size and circulation. • Tabloids, compact papers which replaced serious news with entertainment, became popular. • Magazines also became widely read.

  9. RADIO Although radio barely existed as a mass medium until the 1920s, it soon enjoyed tremendous growth. Networks linked many stations together, sending the same music, news, and commercials to Americans around the country. Developed in the late 1800s, would be used for the military during World War I. First commercial radio station is created in 1920 with KDKA in Pittsburgh. KDKA In The Roaring Twenties

  10. The 20’s is The Jazz Age The Flappers make up cigarettes short skirts Writers F. Scott Fitzgerald Ernest Hemingway Musicians Louis Armstrong Duke Ellington

  11. The Jazz AgeBackground Music form developed in New Orleans by black musicians near the turn of the century. A purely American creation, relied on traditional themes from southern communities and improvisation. Would spread throughout America and be adopted by white musicians and audiences.

  12. WRITE THIS DOWN! The Jazz Age • Jazz, a style of music that grew out of the African American music of the South, became highly popular during the 1920s. • Harlem, a district in Manhattan, New York, became a center of jazz music. • Flappers and others heard jazz in clubs and dance halls; the Charleston, considered by some to be a wild and reckless dance, embodied the Jazz Age. • The Jazz Age is a period in the 1920’s when jazz and dance became popular • The spread of jazz was encouraged by the introduction of large-scale radio broadcasts in 1922, which meant Americans were able to experience different styles of music without physically visiting a jazz club

  13. THE CHARLESTON

  14. The Lost Generation

  15. The Lost Generation Gertrude Stein remarked to Ernest Hemingway that he and other American writers were all a “Lost Generation” • Writers who disconnected from their country and its values. Soon, this term was taken up by the flappers as well. The Lost Generation WRITE THIS DOWN!

  20. The Lost GenerationErnest Hemingway: A Farewell To Arms Considered one of the greatest American novels ever. Discussed the confusion and horrors of World War I. Summed up in the following passage: “I was embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious, and sacrifice…We had…read them, on proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the things that were glorious had no glory and the sacrifices were like the stockyards in Chicago, if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it….Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage were obscene.” Hemingway In The Spanish Civil War http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall01/jamieson/rifle.jpg
