The Newseum

After spending a very long day at the Newseum in DC I have recovered my love of journalism. Not only was the day full of the biggest headlines of my lifetime so far, but it was the first time I had ever experienced the art and calling of journalism to be so highly valued.

Below are a collection of quotes I resonated with at the museum:

"Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world you are no wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar" -Edward R.  Murrow, Broadcast Journalist

"There are three kinds of people who run toward the disaster not away: cops, firemen and journalists." -Rod Brecher, Newspaper Columnist

"If it makes you laugh, if it makes you cry, f it rips your heart out that's a good picture." -Eddie Adams, Pulitzer Prize Winning Photojournalist

"Let the people know the facts, and the country will be safe." Abraham Lincoln, US President 


"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." -1st Amendment, US Constitution
