Pop culture moments tend to stick in the collective memory more than most, even when a person is obviously too young to have witnessed it first hand, the abundance of times it has been watched and rewatched, the stories of its greatness handed down from one generation to the next; pop culture is the ultimate foundation of the 20th and 21st Centuries to which glory has been immortalised in a single snap shot of a camera’s lens.

J.F.K.: News Of A Shooting, Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

History turns on the flash of a camera, of the captured moving moments in time which changes the world forever. It seems nothing now that is significant, noteworthy or even seemingly inconsequential is not captured by a reporter, a journalist or even the feed of any social network, it is all secured for future posterity. History was changed on November 22nd, for America and for the news organisations that came of age on that fateful day in Dallas as President Kennedy was assassinated.
