| Abstract | From 1957 to 1966, Life magazine had significantly more advertisements with space imagery than Ladies Home Journal, Reader’s Digest, or Popular Science magazines. These advertisements were placed in Life magazine instead of others because Henry Luce, creator and editor, used his magazine to support the Cold War. Luce’s adamant views inspired NASA to promote the space program in Life’s pages, which in turn, stirred public support for governmental officials who supported the space program, all of which convinced advertisers that Life magazine was the most effective medium for the placement of advertisements that used space imagery. The data was collected by looking at all issues of Life, Ladies Home Journal, Reader’s Digest, and Popular Science from 1957 through 1966. |
