Description of Pictures: #WithoutNews -- Each day, our "Today's Front Page" exhibit displays 1,200 front pages from around the world, containing the work of thousands of dedicated men and women whose job is to bring you the news.
Today, this exhibit goes dark to pay tribute to journalists who gave their lives in the pursuit of news. This morning, the Newseum adds the names of 14 journalists who died while reporting the news in 2014 to its Journalists Memorial. These journalists were selected to represent the more than 80 men and women who died last year in pursuit of the news. Some were murdered to silence their work. Others got too close to danger.
Join us is raining awareness of the threats to journalists around the world. Consider what we would miss #WithoutNews and share why news is important to you.

Each day, these cases display current newspaper front pages from around the world. Today, the cases are dark to pay tribute to journalists who gave their lives in the pursuit of news.
This morning, the Newseum adds the names of 14 journalists who died while reporting the news in 2014 to its Journalists Memorial. They represent more than 80 journalists who died last year; some murdered to silence their work, others covering wars or dangerous assignments.
Join us in raising awareness of the threats to journalists around the world.

WONEWS_150608_026.JPG: What would you miss in a world #WithoutNews/ Share why news is important to you.
"In a world #withoutnews? Corruption, propaganda and fraud would rule."
"I wouldn't know what was going on around the world outside of my home!"
"News is what everybody wants to keep hidden, and everything else is publicity." #WithoutNews it's just publicity."
"It tells me important stuff."
"So basically we are in a world #withoutnews, infotainment, perhaps."
"News gives us all a chance to write -- and therefore shape -- history. Don't wanna live in a world #WithoutNews"
"World #WithoutNews would be a world with (even more) misinformation & unsubstantiated rumors."
WONEWS_150608_085.JPG: I'd say #WithoutNews I'd probably be doing something I hate for a living like math.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha!
Trips this year:
a quick trip to Florida.
two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and
my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles).
