Key Points
- A memorial honoring journalists who died in the line of duty will be built on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
- The memorial was inspired by the 2018 Capital Gazette shooting and will honor journalists like The Arizona Republic’s Don Bolles, who was killed in 1976.
- While the national memorial moves forward, a similar effort to create a memorial for Bolles at the Arizona Capitol has repeatedly stalled.
