Explosions in Copley
Square
http://live.boston.com/Event/Live_blog_Explosion_in_Copley_Square
Two explosions occurred near the Boston Marathon finish line
at 2:50 p.m. The race was diverted before being halted as police and fire crews
swept the area. Another device was found, which was purposely detonated by
Boston Police at Boylston Street.
Another incident at JFK Library, which was thought to be a fourth-related
incident, is now being considered as a fire-related issue by the Boston Police
Department. Two people are dead and at
least 90 are injured. This is a developing story.

The Story of News
http://www.newseum.org/exhibits-and-theaters/permanent-exhibits/news-history/index.html
This gallery tells the timeless story of news, of many
voices struggling to be heard, and of the people and machines that spread that
news.
At the gallery's center is a timeline that showcases the
Newseum's extensive collection of historic newspapers and magazines. Within the
timeline are 10 touch-screens that offer interactive games, a database of
journalists and close-up views of hundreds of publications. The cases along the
gallery walls examine recurring issues that confront journalists and feature hundreds
of artifacts and personal memorabilia. Five theaters feature videos that
explore some of those issues in greater depth.

Award-Winning Images and Photographers Who Took Them
http://www.newseum.org/exhibits-and-theaters/permanent-exhibits/pulitzer/index.html
This gallery features the most comprehensive collection of
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs ever assembled as well as interviews with
many of the photographers.
Some of the photographs have become icons of their time:
Marines raising Old Glory on Iwo Jima, the joyful reunion of a returning
prisoner of war and his family, a firefighter cradling an injured infant after
the Oklahoma City
bombing. Those and other images record the defining moments of our world and
time.

Ethical Dilemmas in Journalism
http://www.newseum.org/exhibits-and-theaters/permanent-exhibits/ethics-center/index.html
Should you alter a photograph to get a more dramatic image?
Can you recreate an event and claim it's the real thing? Is it appropriate to
use an anonymous source to report a story?
These are examples of difficult questions that journalists
and editors face every day in their work. In the Ethics Center,
interactive kiosks allow you to tackle real-life reporting dilemmas and see how
journalists and other visitors responded. Or, you can challenge your friends to
a fast-paced game on media ethics.
