The Dawn of Mass Culture As Americans had more time for leisure activities a modern mass culture emerged.

Americans started to enjoy time off The growth of Amusement parks and new recreation such as bicycling and tennis provided an outlet from the doldrums of factory work and work in general. Spectator sports especially baseball took off and had masses of people watching a game. Newspapers were now using sensational headlines in order to draw people in to buy their copy.

Joseph Pulitzer A Hungarian immigrant who had bought the New York World newspaper in 1883. pioneered popular innovations: A Large Sunday Edition Comics Sports coverage And Women’s news His papers emphasized “sin, sex, and sensation.”

William Randolph Hearst Was Pulitzer’s main competition. He owned the New York Morning Journal. He wanted to outdo Pulitzer by adding more exaggerated tales of personal scandals, cruelty, hypnotism, etc. Soon both papers were reaching more than one million people a day.

Thomas Eakins Began to embrace Realism. He created an artistic school that would attempt to portray life as it is. He also used photography to make realistic studies of people and animals.

The Agnew Clinic
