On Friday August 26, I visited the Newseum--a museum honoring journalism and free speech. It was the only museum which I visited in Washington which had an admission charge. It has numerous theaters and interactive exhibits plus many historical front pages in digital format. It even has a theater showing television comedians such as Jon Stewart delivering political commentary. They have a replica of the ATS 1 satellite which was used for the first live global TV broadcast in the 1960's. They also have a theater showing Pulitzer prize winning photographers talking about their work. I visited the studio where ABC's "This Week" is recorded every Sunday morning.
