Last Saturday, ICSF leader Stephanie Eng, organized a trip to the Newseum for all members to come explore the massive museum packed with interesting exhibitions containing 5 centuries worth of news and media. ICSFers along with Professor Levinson, made their way from the the heart-wrenching Katrina exhibit; to the 100 ft long Big Screen covering the career of the President's photographer; onto the comprehensive Pulitzer Prize Photographs gallery; and even went to the 4D movie which covered the history of America's freedom of the press.
As we made made our way around the Newseum, although it was impossible to view everything in one afternoon, it was enlightening to see how journalists and news anchors have played a momental role in defining our nation's history. With the sun shining outside and the cherry blossoms beginning to bloom, it was a perfect afternoon in D.C. as communications students to see how our role will manifest into something more!
