But to identify as an American is to connect to a larger national narrative, one that begins in revolution. In \u003ci\u003ePopular Media and the American Revolution, \u003c\/i\u003ejournalism historian Janice Hume examines the ways that generations of Americans have remembered and embraced the Revolution through magazines, newspapers, and digital media. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, \u003ci\u003ePopular Media and the American Revolution \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how the story and characters of the Revolution have been adjusted, adapted, and co-opted by popular media over the years, fostering a cultural identity whose founding narrative was sculpted, ultimately, in revolution. Examining press and popular media coverage of the war, wartime anniversaries, and the Founding Fathers (particularly, \"uber-American hero\" George Washington), Hume provides insights into the way that journalism can and has shaped a culture's evolving, collective memory of its past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Janice Hume\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor and head of the Department of Journalism in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia.
