I
watched “17 Days: The Story of Newspaper History in the Making (1945)” produced
by unknown person for this weekend’s online assignment, because I am curious
about how people in old times handle newspapers. Now in twenty first century,
people, especially young adults do not arduously look for newspaper to be
informed what is happening in society because they are very familiar with online
clips conveying news to them in real time. This video is very repetitive,
making it a bit boring, but it clearly shows how newspapers were important for
people in 1940s in New York City. I was impressed by a capture of the video
showing that numerous people make a huge line on the street in order to
purchase updated newspapers because the newspaper delivery’s strike for
seventeen days. In 1940s, newspaper was the one of only a few media that common
people can get, so the strike of the delivery service could helplessly have
brought a chaos with crowd on the street. The video makes me learn how greatly
the media have developed so that much more people can easily access to the news
these days.
