History Conversations REWIND | Montgomery County Sentinel: The Evolution of Local Journalism Since 1855

with Paul Schwartz | Prerecorded virtual event |

 

Enjoy this must-see presentation that brings attendees through a 164-year journey of local history as told through the news stories covered in the Montgomery County Sentinel: one of the most important sources of local journalism. The paper covered everything from civil rights to the Civil War, county infrastructure, 20th century development, two world wars, the Giles-Johnson case, and more. Though the physical paper shut down in 2020, its legacy remains to this day. Originally recorded at the January 2020 Montgomery County History Conference.
