Spread the News:\u00a0 The War of 1812 on the Chesapeake —<\/h5>\n

In this era news could only move as fast as someone could physically carry the message. Mike Dixon will discuss how news and information \u00a0was spread when war came to Maryland\u2019s shores, with a fascinating look at press coverage of the major regional incidents of the War of 1812. This presentation concludes with a discussion about what has changed in the digital age, when news coverage is practically instantaneous.<\/p>\n
