Activity One - watch

Let's do an interactive, comparative activity:

Here is a live transmission by the ABC’s Talbot Duckmanton on VP Day in 1945 - the end of the war for Australians and her allies.

This recording offers listeners a special sense of what all that celebrating really sounded like, out on George St that day.

Now compare to the use of images in the story that was later broadcast:

Compare this sort of story telling, to the kind of news and information we might access today on  television and on its web counterparts:
