Het verhaal van Vlaanderen leeft. Met meer dan anderhalf miljoen kijkers per week is de reeks nu al het meest bekeken publiekshistorisch product van de afgelopen kwarteeuw. En misschien nog het belangrijkste van allemaal: Het verhaal heeft de maatschappelijke discussies over geschiedenis stevig aangewakkerd. Wekelijks fileren zowel specialisten als occasionele kijkers wie en wat er allemaal aan bod kwam, en of de reeks daarmee de juiste keuzes heeft gemaakt.
Op 14 maart zet Corvus de discussie over de selectiemethodes van Het verhaal van Vlaanderen verder. Jesse Fabré, redacteur bij productiehuis De Mensen, gaat in gesprek met Tinne Claes, Bart Willems en Chanelle Delameillieure, drie ervaren (publieks)historici. Samen zullen ze het hebben over de mogelijke kansen, moeilijkheden en fouten bij het kiezen van historisch materiaal voor publicatie, of die nu publiekshistorisch of wetenschappelijk van aard zijn.
