Several exhibits intrigued me the most while there this time around. For example, the lessons incorporated in the museums ethics center exemplified how journalists and individuals alike cannot agree on the what is the right thing to do in a certain situation. It made me begin to think that there isn't a set answer on how to handle situations, it all depends on someone's perspective.
I absolutely loved how interactive all the exhibits were especially, the mini sets where we were able to test out our anchoring skills by reading scripts from a teleprompter. This was definitely good practice for my classmates who want to be in front of the camera. Although, none of this was live I still felt nervous knowing that it would be aired for my classmates and other spectators to see.
Lastly, the JFK exhibit consumed me emotionally, because of how family oriented and genuine he as. It sadden me that this good natured mans life was taken away in a blink of an eye in front of hundreds of people and most importantly next to his wife.
Overall, the newseum is the place to go for past, present, and future journalist to gain inspiration and recall moments in the history that changed the evolution of the media industry.
