Brattlecast #11 - Black and White and Read All Over

When was the last time you picked up a newspaper? Hopefully after 1851. Ken brings Jordan some authentic 19th century newspapers, and outlines the evolution of print periodicals in America. Learn about competing publications in Richmond and New York covering the Civil War, as well as the rise of mass print advertising, and its unfortunate side effect on slavery; there’s nothing quite like getting history right from the source.
