Episode 51 - The History of Newspapers and the News

  • Summary

  • Politicians and journalists alike often claim Americans are more divided now than at any point in the nation's past. Pundits and commentators point to the stark divisions in the news media we voraciously consume. MSNBC and Fox present strikingly different views on almost every subject. But is this really something new? Join us as we take a dive into the tawdry and titillating history news and newspapers in America. From colonial broadsides criticizing the British crown to abolitionists tracks to scandalous tales of foreign intrigue and even domestic violence, the news from America's past seems strangely familiar in the 21st century.
