Episode Details

What if the stories we’re reading today are missing their roots? Once, reporters relied on physical “morgues” — treasure troves of newspaper clippings — to understand context. Now, digitized archives are everywhere, but with shrinking newsrooms, those deep historical resources are vanishing. Take a recent business diversity policy change: while headlines focused on the governor’s take, they ignored the 1983 laws that birthed it — and why. We’ve gained instant access to history, but lost the depth to connect today’s headlines to yesterday’s struggles. Still, you can dig deeper — the Indiana Historical Society and others offer photo archives, old radio, and community newspapers. Become your own historian.
