3 This is not the only place in the review where he makes this kind of innuendo. He says, at one point, that he “just cannot imagine” what I was thinking of when I said that medieval and tribal people had “no concept of news. Native Americans…managed to assimilate and transmit the information that white men were coming to kill them.” Frankly, this is not at all what I meant by a “concept of news.” There is a clear and important difference between the transmittal of information, mostly about local events, in older societies and contemporary “news” in the sense of newspaper headlines and the evening TV broadcasts about distant events. We are inured to the notion that change occurs constantly, that there is always “news,” always something happening in the world, that nothing is fixed, unchanging, out of flux.Google Scholar
