| The Newseum's sleek, modern atrium. Note the grand news screen
(currently displaying a map) and news helicopter.
| A movie taken from the Newseum's glass elevator. It starts by showing
the Newseum's segment of the Berlin Wall, then pans around to the
central atrium. This only cover the first half (or third) of the ride
to the top.
| What a cool idea (old media meet new media). View the full size image,
read the text, and enjoy.
| The radio transmitter from the World Trade Center, with an array on the
wall behind of newspaper front pages from shortly after the attacks.

| Gutenberg's Puzzle, a sculpture by Lloyd Schermer.
| A press freedom map. An interactive screen nearby allows reading about
any country.
| The Journalists Memorial lists all journalists who died (natural causes
or murdered) as a result of their work. To the right, which you can
faintly make out in the full-size image, are pictures of many of them,
plus descriptions of everyone killed in the last year and why.
Incidentally, I wonder why there are so few before, say, 1950: were
there fewer journalists back then or do we simply have less information
about the ones who were killed and why?
| The Newseum's control room monitors all external news feeds as well as
the museum's electronic displays.

| The Knight Studio on the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the building, one
of two professional recording studios in the building. This is used for
This Week with George Stephanopoulos. The capitol in the
background is colored funny because the windows are specially polarized.
Also: wow, look at all the light overhead.
| Hehe.

Looking east down Pennsylvania Avenue at the Capitol from the Newseum's
balcony. I like the clouds.
The Canadian embassy is hard to miss.

| A panorama looking east, south, and west.
| Looking west toward the Old Post Office Tower.
