I got a sneak preview of the new Newseum which opens to the general public in two weeks. The Newseum use to be in Rosslyn, VA and now they have a great spot on the mall at 6th and Pennsylvania Avenue.. it's huge, and it take hours to go thru. it has a lot of interactive exhibits and videos about the news business. among the highlights.. a updated video of "What is News?" narrated by Charles Osgood, a look at news reporting by the local and national reporters in New York City on 9/11, a video about the evolution of the sports reporting, and look at the Internet and how that's changing journalism. there was even a video about "blogging" and one blogger said he probably only has five people reading his blog, but's that doesn't matter because it's the magazine he always wanted to create!
oh and there is a video in one of the rooms where i am in! it was shot a while back at work (i actually don't even remember then shooting it)! so all and all, i enjoyed it. the only downside for the general public when it opens is the cost. it's general admission price is $20. for dc that's very high, but for the other cities that's average.
