newseum online exhibits


About the Newseum (No, I did not mispell the word!)

The world's first interactive museum of news — the Newseum — opened in Arlington, Va., in 1997. Its mission was simple: to help the public and the news media understand one another better.


There are 20 online exhibits to view at this link http://www.newseum.org/

One you might check out the one called “Today’s Headlines” – it opens to show the front page of 48 newspapers from around the country. You can select a map view and click on the city to view the local newspaper’s headlines at this link http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/flash/

You will find an exibiit of “Prize-winning Pulitzer Photographs” at this link http://www.newseum.org/pulitzer/

Other links found on the home page include "Holocaust: The Untold Story", "War Stories", and more. This site is worth a look.
