New history blog: "Not the past, but its traces in the present"
The new history blog «History Reloaded» from Tagesanzeiger.ch/Newsnet explores current and latent topics and places them in a historical context.
Recent political events in particular make it clear that important developments can only be understood and interpreted if they are also based on past experiences. The new history blog "History Reloaded" aims to provide orientation in the fog of the present - and the authors will not shy away from drawing concrete conclusions and lessons from the past.
The posts will appear on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The first post "History is news" is available immediately. Business and culture journalist Ralph Pöhner will be blogging for History Reloaded together with other journalists. "The blog is precise in its facts, but bold and sometimes provocative in its interpretations," says Pöhner. "It is intended to be debated and argued about." Ralph Pöhner has worked for the Berner Zeitung, Facts, Die Weltwoche and Die Zeit, among others. He is co-founder of the industry media portals Medinside and Finews and co-author of the book "Wer regiert die Schweiz?". Pöhner studied history and economics in Zurich and Madrid, after which he was an assistant and lecturer at the Department of History at the University of Zurich.
