“Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, American media was dominated by the Big Three television networks, and a few national magazines. ABC, NBC, and CBS are still with us. Most of the old national magazines are gone or bizarrely changed into odd parodies of their original incarnation …. All these magazines had a very profound impact on American culture, society, and politics in the quarter-century after World War Two. It is claimed that they influenced public opinion and policy, and that they ‘reflected the cultural and social changes’ of the era. The reality seems to be darker: yes, they influenced opinion and policy, but the publications actually created many (or most) of the changes in society and culture.” (008/06/25)
