Document Summary

1920s mass modernity: radio and intimate publics. Objectives: critical thinking and research skills, analyze primary sources, research question, writing skills. Restate research question: include secondary source bibliography and document group, reproduce the research questions - include secondary source from first assignment, and from the document group - transferring from one to another. Analyze with worksheet: describe, interpret, evaluate. 300 analysis --> look at secondary sources either from first assignment, or from ones in class. 2: new sound technology, through industrial and social influences, but of course there are other ways, that make radio an interesting thing. It"s a really new and exciting thing, particularly seeing radio as music transmission, not just morse code. Boundary crossing v. corporate control/ government regulation: we see a crossing between social divides - we can see what other groups may be doing, but we are able to hear it. Late 1920s: models for television entertainment/news, broadcasting organizations & finance, debates about public interest.
