News, History, and Narrative Oh My!

News, History, and Narrative Oh My!
Allen Getz ” Behind The Headlines ” Audio player below!

For the second broadcast of Behind the Lines, we will examine the concept called history. After a short review of the subject matter of the previous episode (The Entity Known as News), we will tie the concept of news into this idea/discipline known as history. The premise regarding the term will center upon its definition, its focus, and how the interpretation thereof influences society. Applying the definition of history to past events will receive close examination. We will also examine how the communication of historical events (or the suppression of events) and created or masked difficulties present at that time.

Moving into the present day, we will probe and dissect how history (real and imagined, exposed, masked or contrived) influences the society surrounding it. Using the observations made and concepts explored and codified earlier, we will apply the techniques used today to their earlier counterparts. Furthermore, we will investigate the purpose of history, examining what those who influence our viewpoints seek to accomplish by their communications (either real or distorted).

Sprinkled within these points will be interesting facts, figures, and other items that may be mind-jarring, mind-numbing, make one shake their head, answer questions, and/or ‘connect the dots’. Please join us for the second broadcast of Behind the Headlines – where the true story is behind the headlines.
