Words to stress correctly
| historically | his·TOR·i·cal·ly | /hɪˈstɔrɪkəli/ |
| information | in·for·MA·tion | /ɪnfɚˈmeɪʃən/ |
| political | po·LIT·i·cal | /pəˈlɪtəkəl/ |

53 words in 20–24 seconds. There are no figures: 'fifty' is already written in words, so just say 'fifty years'. Breathe after 'mass media.', after 'process', after 'fifty years.' and after 'central nervous system'.
Where marks are usually lost
Keep po·LIT·i·cal, his·TOR·i·cal·ly, e·LEC·tric, to·MOR·row, so·CI·e·ty and in·for·MA·tion on the syllables shown. Sound the -ed in recognized and increased, and the -s in scholars and years.
General tip: the quoted phrase needs no special voice — read 'central nervous system' as one smooth group.
