Welcome!

"You have been accepted as an intern at HNN." These words open students to a new world of exciting opportunities. The History News Network is the only website on the Internet wholly devoted to the task of putting events in the news into historical perspective every day. Students accepted into our program have the chance to find out why events happen and who can be trusted to explain them.
