I did a radio interview with Dr. Bradley Gottfried the President of the College of Southern Maryland today on his Sunday morning radio show, “Southern Maryland Perspectives.” Dr. Gottfried interviews scholars and newsmakers about local perspectives for several Southern Maryland radio station, which air his weekly show.
I will be at the College on November 17, 2013, participating in a series, “the War of 1812: A Legacy of Division.” My talk examines newspapers, mail, and communications during the War of 1812 and the President and I discussed how news could only move as fast as someone could physically carry the message. When the war came to our shores, the sharing of news and information was critical and so we also examined how newspapers gathered and distributed urgent news content, during the half-hour show.
