Abstract

TALA Online Journal’s effort to chronicle the perspectives of Martial Law, the stories of our past, and the weight of our history couldn’t be more pertinent. 

We live in a time when the truth is muddled by social media trends and deliberate campaigns to misinform the public. Journals such as this, one founded in historical research, may serve as an antidote to the distortion, the propaganda, and the lies. TALA’s repository of historical analyses, commentaries, and stories invites us to a better way of engaging with information, a deeper way of processing our past, which, in effect, can provide us a clearer way towards our future.
