The Day Nothing Happened
On Good Friday 1930, the BBC National Service advised listeners "there is no news today", then continued broadcasting a concert by the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
This week, we look at why this is so significant from our context deep within the 24-hour cycle, how news gathering and dissemination has changed since the advent of the steam powered printing press, and how it is changing again because of the internet.
For anyone who wants to know more, I've included links and a transcript on our patreon page: https://patreon.com/variousthings
