I really want to visit the Newseum in Washington D.C.

It's like the Jerusalem for journalists. Our Holy Grail, where many of the most important elements of journalism's history lives. But the Newseum in Washington, D.C. has proved that it does not just reflect on history, but also looks towards the future.
A 10 part television series title 'The Future of News' has been produced by the Newseum to be distributed by none other than American Public Television. It discusses "the evolution of news reporting in the internet age" with interviews alongside prominent journalists of our time. I only wish they had included at least one independent media newshound like Arianna Huffington or Glen Greenwald, I think it's going to be a noticeable missing gap in the program. Either way, it airs early next year and I can't wait to see it!
