1930's Media

The 1930's was very rough time in America. A stock market market crash in late 1929 caused many banks and people to go into debt. The money flow in America was at an all time low. This caused massive job loss in America at this time. Unemployment hit an all time high at around 30% of the American people were unemployed. From the horrible economy many forms of culture took a massive hit. In media newspapers were printed less frequently and costed more money then they did before. But there was one bright spot about this time in media. Radio became big at this time, bigger then it was before. Radio brought people of all back grounds together at this time whether Black, White, Asian,  poor, rich or in the middle  anything else everyone listened to radio. More radio programs then ever before began to pop up and everyone enjoyed them. Also radio became more bigger national. Depending on a station you can listen to radio show in Chicago 2000 miles away in Los Angeles. Everyone loved radio at this time. This time and next decade were considered the "Golden Age of Radio". In this time American media expanded and became a get away point for many Americans.
