在20世纪40年代，美国的流行杂志开始报道娱乐业人士的私人生活，但是之前这些刊物曾在商业和政治领域很有特色。
A选项 in despite of表示的是让步的意思“虽然，尽管”，让步的含义会让原文的重心变成主句部分。而原文的意思是想表达转折的意思。
B选项 in spite of表示的是让步的意思“虽然，尽管”，让步的含义会让原文的重心变成主句部分。而原文的意思是想表达转折的意思。Previously副词放在 that之前修饰导致修饰部分逻辑语义不合理。
C选项whereas表达转折对照的语义。后文的意思主要含义变成了有那样一些人，语义发生了改变。
D选项同C选项
E选项表达的是之前的这些杂志的内容，对比明显。
答案：E
