ABSTRACT
AS WITH PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS, THE RAPID INCREASE IN PUBLICATIONS was another characteristic of Singapore's New Culture Movement. The growth of the newspaper industry between 1919 and 1932 was nothing short of spectacular. During this time, Singapore's papers became increasingly sophisticated, professional, and well organized. New waves of immigrants repeatedly altered the demographics of the business's readers and writers. As a result, new papers emerged, catering to different segments of the population. Journalists of the 1920s did much more than simply report the political events of the day; they also offered business advice, provided recreation information, and supplied a forum for reading and writing literature. 1
