Pulitzer Prize photographs are displayed here, portions of the Berlin Wall and Twin Towers stand here, and you can see the U.S. Capital from its rooftop. At the Newseum, budding journalists can even practice their first on-air newscasts or visit history with virtual reality. And a news helicopter hovers amongst it all.
