📚 Introducing “The Knowledge” – A New Short Video Series from STM Daily News

Last Updated on September 10, 2025 by Daily News Staff

 

In a world overwhelmed by opinions, assumptions, and misinformation, STM Daily News is launching a powerful new series to help set the record straight—one short video at a time.

Introducing: The Knowledge — a fast-paced, truth-driven video series dedicated to sharing bite-sized, fact-checked stories that matter. From hidden figures in history to the evolution of the tools creators use every day, this new collection of shorts brings clarity, curiosity, and context back into the conversation.

Starting this week, The Knowledge will feature two flagship segments:

🎓 Forgotten Genius Fridays

Every Friday, we spotlight innovators and inventors who history textbooks ignored—but whose contributions helped shape the modern world. Whether it’s the Black inventor behind the modern stoplight or the woman whose security system became the foundation for home surveillance, Forgotten Genius Fridays revives the names you should know.

🆕 First episode drops this Friday:

“Who Really Invented the Modern Traffic Light?”

Spoiler: It wasn’t just about cars—it was about saving lives, and Garrett Morgan led the way.

🎞️ The Evolution of Video Tools

Launching alongside our Friday feature, this tech-savvy series will explore the unsung hardware and software that turned everyday people into media creators long before the iPhone era.

🆕 Second episode:

“What Was the Video Toaster?”

In the early ‘90s, it wasn’t Final Cut or TikTok—it was a toaster… and it changed television forever.

🎬 Why We Created The Knowledge

Search engines may be everywhere, but too often, people either don’t dig deep enough—or worse, rewrite history to suit their own story. At STM Daily News, we believe that knowledge should be:

Accessible Accurate Engaging

Each episode of The Knowledge runs between 30 seconds and 90 seconds—just enough to learn something important without losing your scroll. Our goal? To spark curiosity, preserve truth, and celebrate the people, tools, and events that brought us to where we are today.
