Question:

How would most Americans have followed the Berlin Olympics in 1936?

I was doing some research and not sure how most Americans would have followed the Berlin olympics. First, I assumed radio but wasn't so sure. I'm thinking just the newspaper but thought I may be able to throw the question out there and see if anyone knows more about it than I do. Thanks!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I don't think by radio live, because of the time difference, and plenty of other material to be broadcast. But certainly by newspaper articles cabled in by reporters, newspaper photographs also sent by cable, and cinema newsreel footage delivered by aeroplane.

Even the London Olympics in 1948 did not get much live radio coverage, just the main results in the regular news bulletins. The newspapers did most of it, but the cinema newsreels made me feel almost as though I was there, with Fanny Blankers-Koen the "Flying Dutchwoman" and all the rest. It must have been like that for Americans in 1936 being able to watch their own Jesse Owens in medal-winning action, just a day or two after the events.
