See the Fallen Journalists Memorial Design Concept

The idea of building a memorial to fallen journalists in Washington, D.C. was conceived by former U.S. Representative and Tribune Publishing Company Chairman David Dreier. The foundation was launched on June 28, 2019. That was the first anniversary of the deadliest assault against journalists in U.S. history when members of the Tribune’s Capital Gazette team were murdered in their newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland.
