I got a book of the New York Times front pages during World War II for Christmas a few years ago. It’s fascinating to see how the media covered events as they happened. Often their perspective (AKA conventional wisdom at the time) was much different than we think.
I used to love listening to all of the Old-Time radio newscasts from that era on the Internet. It really is the closest thing to going back in time and imagining how things were back then.
