Breaking News: How the Associated Press Has Covered War, Peace and Everything Else: Since its founding in 1846, the Associated Press has been the authoritative reporting voice for major news events around the world, maintaining credibility in the face of hoaxes, competition and often outright hostility. From the days when reporters were anonymous to the better known bylines of today, AP reporters have held true to the fiercely competitive "first in, last out" mentality in covering the country's and the world's hot pots. Join AP President Tom Curley and a panel of AP staffers for a reception and discussion of the stories behind the stories in the new book "Breaking News: How the Associated Press Has Covered War, Peace and Everything Else."
The panel: Walter Mears (Pulitzer Prize-winning former political correspondent for AP), Kathryn Johnson (former Atlanta reporter for AP, now retired, whose coverage of the Civil Rights Movement was both moving and authoritative), Darrell Christian (sports editor of AP for many years), Ron Edmonds (Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington and White House photographer), George Esper (famed Saigon AP bureau chief), Joe Urschel (Newseum executive director, moderator)
