HNN is a publishing project that puts the news in historical perspective. Powered by @bunkhistory @urichmond. Subscribe here: https://t.co/nnTE401wiD The History News Network is the only website primarily featuring commentary by historians on current events.  The site's mission is to help put current events into historical perspective. Given how public opinion is shaped today, whipsawed emotionally on talk shows this way and that in response to the egos of the guests, the desire for ratings by the hosts and the search for profits by media companies and sponsors, historians are especially needed now. They can help remind us of the superficiality of what-happens-today-is-all-that-counts journalism.
