About this Quote

Thomas Griffith's quote "Journalism is in reality history on the run" speaks to the importance of journalism in capturing and maintaining history. Journalism is a type of storytelling that records and shares occasions as they take place, offering an instant and accurate account of the past. By catching events as they occur, journalism has the ability to offer a more comprehensive and accurate account of history than standard historical records. Journalism also allows for a more varied range of point of views to be shared, as it is not limited to the views of a single historian. In this way, journalism can provide a more detailed and nuanced understanding of history. Ultimately, Griffith's quote acts as a reminder of the significance of journalism in maintaining and comprehending history.
