did the 1920's have magazines?

Answer 1

"Mainstream magazines such as Saturday Evening Post, Life, and Look were for decades the most attractive medium for advertisers wishing to reach Americans all over the country. (An exception to the connection between mass circulation and advertising was the immensely popular conservative Reader's Digest, which began in 1922 by reprinting articles from other publications, and refused advertising, in order to keep its high circulation figures secret from the sources it paid for reprints.)
The mass-circulation news magazines, born in the 1920s and 1930s, influenced political policy. Henry Luce's powerful Time, Life, and Fortune..."

"Magazines such as The New Yorker (begun 1925), Smart Set: A Magazine of Cleverness (1900–1930), Vanity Fair in its 1913–1936 version, and the influential American Mercury, begun by H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan (1924–1950)..."

Answer 2

Yes, many...

It's not that surprising that magazines existed before the and after the 1920's. What did we/they have to do before Television existed? I mean, come on... what would we ALL be doing if the Television never existed?

Remember the blackout?

Honestly, TV is great for a little bit... then it just consumes us. If we all just took a break, sat down and read something once and a while we would actually find out something about ourselves without the Media doing it for us.

Paper was invented WAY before the 1920's, so thats how books became popular. It's actually shocking to know how edited down books have become since their orginal inception.

I'm going way beyond what I wanted to say here, but yes... There were MANY magazines published before and after that time.
Screenland (1920), Screen Play (1925), Screenbook (1928), Screen Stories (1929), and Screen Romances (1929). The New York Daily News (1919), The New York Daily Mirror (1920), Reader's Digest (1922), Life (1920), Time (1927)... thats just a few.

Answer 3

Actually it is pretty amazing to realize how many magazines existed in the 1920s and before the 1920s. I work in periodicals at the library and there are literally hundreds of magazines and journals from the 1850s through the 1940s and beyond.
