"Drawing on evidence from three centuries, Popular Media and the American Revolution recounts the stories that newspapers, magazines, and television programs have told about the country’s founding – stories that merge fact with folklore, local pride with national unity, and political purpose with popular sentiment, and that over time have crystallized into public memory. Entertaining as well as illuminating, Janice Hume’s study ably affirms the central role of journalism in the construction of national mythology." - Carolyn Kitch, Professor of Journalism, Temple University
"Hume writes clearly and concisely. She chooses examples well and makes creative use of multiple sources...Overall...this book makes a positive contribution. It really takes little more than a visit to any community July 4th celebration to underline that her insights stand up well." - Carl Sessions Stepp, University of Maryland, in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
