Caitlin Dewey, one of the best, and Social Media reporter at The Washington Post wrote: “An expertโ€™s must-see guide to the half-a-million amazing historical videos AP just put online.”

 

Excerpt:

Youโ€™ve probably read about events like, say, the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Certainly you studied them in high-school history class. But until Wednesday, you couldnโ€™t see news footage of the bombing of Pearl Harbor as it was shown at the time โ€” because thatโ€™s when, for the very first time, the Associated Press put footage of that incident and half a million others online.

 

 

All told, AP and a partner, the newsreel archive British Movietone, published 550,000 video stories spanning more than 1 million minutes and 120 years toย its new YouTube channel.
