The man nobody knows: Charles A. Lindbergh and the culture of celebrity

Article Abstract:

The popular culture of celebrity, promoted by the tabloid newspapers during the 1920s, shattered the life of Charles A. Lindbergh. Tabloid journalism featured a steep decline in public morals, as it dug into the private life of celebrities and invented gossip. The sympathetic journalists of gentlemanly newspapers defended the celebrities, which started a cycle of gossip and counter gossip. The roots of this culture of celebrity discourse dated back to the 1830s. Lindbergh's career as a public figure illustrates the power of the media in controlling lives of individuals.
