The Holland Fire on Tik Tok? Tracking Changes in Media, Journalism, and Local Information Sharing

Graphic representing the Holland Museum program, "The Holland Fire on Tik Tok? Tracking Changes in Media, Journalism, and Local Information Sharing." The presenter is Fritz Klug, the former MLive.com Political and Community Journalist. January 11, 2023

When we think of historic moments in the history of Holland, the 1871 fire stands out as one that fundamentally changed the community. But how would a monumental event like this be covered in the different eras of mass media? In his presentation, Fritz Klug will use the Holland Fire of 1871 as a focal point to discuss how news and media organizations would cover the story in different eras of mass media journalism, including print, radio, television, internet, and social media. He will also touch on the challenges facing the news industry and consumers as we head into a future of misinformation, artificial intelligence, and niche media interests.
