Profile of Wisconsin Mass Media History
Wisconsin is known for the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright, and Harry Houdini. But Wisconsin has left an indelible mark on media history as well. We will tell the tale of 3 of those stories. The creation of stop motion photography by H.H. Bennet, that has allowed us to capture those great Packers moments, to the "Motown of Blues" in Grafton Wisconsin, and establishment of the Barnum Circus in Delevan (a root of advertising). The landscape of what we colloquially know as "the media" would look very different if it were not for the efforts in Wisconsin.
