Nostalgia. We all have it. But how do we express nostalgia for ephemeral media?
First of all: A big ‘thank you’ to reddit users. It’s thrilling to see this kind of response and I’m sure this will only result in more outreach from public media.
The Fukushima Daichi story, one that portends a disaster (whether or not it is classified as a disaster is not in question, but rather stories about ‘worst’ and ‘growing’ fears of a more dramatic meltdown event), has far eclipsed the incredible human toll of the Japanese Tsunami.
This project brought together media resources from across PBS, including PBS NewsHour, FRONTLINE, Nightly Business Report, Need to Know, and local member stations.
