The Journalists Memorial, located in the Newseum in
Washington, D.C., pays tribute to reporters, photographers and broadcasters who
have died reporting the news. The names of 2,084 individuals from around
the world are etched on the glass panels of the soaring, two-story structure. The
memorial is rededicated each year to add the names of journalists who lost their
lives on the job in the preceding year. Adjoining the memorial are photographs of
hundreds of those journalists, and electronic kiosks containing data on every
honoree.
