Today in Focus The Guardian

Great reporting and story telling, though, being older and remembering much 20th century history I sometimes thought “and your surprised??” Much of the current generation of journos and editors are too young to directly remember the last third of the 20th century. All I ask is that you go back and read about the events of that time. Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, nuclear fear, collapsing Soviet Union, Rise Islamic fundamentalism…… recent history. Not from headlines, social media, but from well researched and endorsed sources. It will be the best time spent and will inform you more than you can imagine. Most of this is in books. Made of paper. This is not a criticism of younger media pros. It is advice from someone in their late sixties, who worked as a journo, who remembers the moon landing directly, who got into computers in 1976, who had an Apple lle, is not a Luddite, and has the benefit of seeing all this time pass.
So… do keep up the excellent work, the clear structure of time line, the depth and persistence of research, the production values. All good..
