Broadcast journalist Mike Walter has covered some tough stories — from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. But reporting on these catastrophes took an emotional toll.
One day after the eighth anniversary of Sept. 11, Walter discusses his documentary, "Breaking News, Breaking Down," which chronicles how journalists cope with covering terror and tragedy.
Walter, a former morning anchor for Washington, D.C.’s, WUSA9, is a four-time Emmy winner and a 2005 Dart Center Ochberg Fellow. He was a senior correspondent for "USA Today Live" from 2003 to 2005.
Walter also contributed to "Covering Catastrophe" and "Broadcasting through Crisis," two books about Sept. 11.
"Inside Media" is produced by the Newseum and is open to all visitors. Seating is on a space-available basis.
The event was moderated by Rich Foster from the Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
