[ overview of web coverage ]
Thus, in overview, the web coverage of JFK’s assassination offers more by way of content, presentation, democratisation of audience and delivery than monographical accounts have accomplished to date.
The ease with which one can become disorientated as the web of links lead you outward and further away from the original document the more obvious it becomes that the central text becomes obsolete. This disorientation presents the wonderful opportunity to disseminate the traditional narrative given to Kennedy’s assassination.
The theme of knowledge has been speculated upon in this site as an issue central to coverage of JFK’s assassination on the Web. It has created a varied contribution to an extensive discourse and shall be measured as such when historical sensibilities shift with technological advancement. Through the sharing of knowledge history and historians will realise the possibilities of the new medium to further the power of history.
“Knowledge is power and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power that knowledge gives” – James Madison
