This site is interesting because it covers very specific things and people that happened in the 1920\u2019s and less of a general overall history.&nbsp; This means it looks deeper than the surface and talks about more specific history that many people may not know, more specifically journalism in certain decades like the 1920\u2019s. While this is interesting, it would not be great for research unless one of the people or topics in journalism is related to the research. Many of the topics on the website involve pop-culture of the era, because of its focus on journalism. The site was designed by the University of Kansas School of Journalism &amp; Mass Communications, 1976-2008. The original site was designed May 2003 by graduate students Heather Attig and Tony Esparza. It has multiple authors and has been edited multiple times since being created.&nbsp; All of this information, such as the institution and authors is available on the site and it was easy to find.&nbsp; The site is very simple; it does not have a search bar, it just has tabs at the top labeled by decade that open up information on journalism for the selected decade.&nbsp; Due to the fact that this site focuses mainly on journalism and not so much other topics of these time periods and it has an easy-to-use layout, it does not need a search bar to find information.&nbsp; The site is surely a bit outdated, considering it was last updated in 2007.&nbsp; Not only that but also navigating the site makes it very easy to tell that it is a bit outdated. The site seems trustworthy, considering it says that the site was checked for accuracy and that much of the information used was copyrighted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This site is not very useful for learning about the 1920s.&nbsp; The site focuses on the history of journalism, and while it still provides information about other topics of history in the 1920s, it mainly talks about journalism and icons in journalism.&nbsp; The site briefly talks about the social climate, and the political scene of the era, which talks about things like the jazz age, labor strikes, immigration, racial tension, the president, and other parts of 1920s history.&nbsp; This may make it sound like it would be a good site to learn about the 1920s, but it does not go into much detail about these topics, the information is very limited.&nbsp; Overall, this site has a lot of good information, has the most information related to journalism, and is easy to use but outdated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website: This site is a very simple, most likely older look into historical events organized by decade.&nbsp; It clearly provides both primary and secondary sources that are related to the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2172\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
