Ep 1: Media History, Media Now

  • Summary

  • We speak with US Civil War Historian Anne Rubin about the ways different forms of media—from the penny press to social apps—can divide people and fragment ideas. We discuss the challenge of engaging the public in the real complexity of issues given that media prefer tiny sound bites. The conversation turns to the national discord around removing monuments, looking at monuments themselves as a kind of media.
