Do you have a horror story to tell about an encounter with a journalist obtuse about history? If so, we'd like to hear about it. Please tell us your story by posting a comment below. Your answers will be helpful as we prepare for a panel hosted by HNN at the upcoming meeting of the Organization of American Historians concerning the love-hate relationship between journalists and historians. (The panel will meet Thursday April 3, between 1 and 3 pm.)
