I don't know if it's the caffeine coursing through my veins, the sheer giddiness of having a comp day, or the absolute pleasure of getting to watch Washington Journal feature the Newseum on today's broadcast...but I am having a totes awesome day so far!  :)

Due to open on April 11th in D.C., the Newseum houses an extensive collection of historical media data spanning several decades.  Numerous photographs, film reels, newsprint, and miscellanous realia vividly depict a wide array of press stories regarding key events in U.S. history and their impact on its citizens.  The organization's web site offers additional information regarding visits as well as links to over 500 unedited front pages, digital galleries of rare archival materials, and even a virtual tour.  Note: Admission to the Newseum is FREE on Opening Day!

Props go to Newseum President Peter S. Pritchard for granting Washington Journal viewers a behind-the-scene-sneak-peak tour of this incredible tribute to journalism and its role in chronicling the events of our nation's history.
