Andaman Sheekha joins Newseum’s initiative Newseum’s front pages go dark to commemorate fallen journalists

Port Blair, June 05: Visitors seeking the Newseum’s customary offering of front pages from newspapers across the United States this morning are being greeted by a wall of blacked-out images.
The museum has redacted its catalog of front pages for the day in order to honor journalists killed reporting the news and to raise awareness of threats to press freedom worldwide. In total, the Newseum is memorializing 14 journalists who died on the job in 2014, including James Foley, Michel du Cille, Anja Niedringhaus, Simone Camilli, Luke Somers and Steven Sotloff.
The redaction is accompanied by a social media campaign, #WithoutNews, that invites Newseum visitors to consider life without the press. Since the campaign went live this morning, several journalists have offered interpretations of what that world might look like.
Meanwhile Andaman Sheekha will be publishing #WithoutNews banner prepared by Newseum on the front page to join the initiative of Newseum as a tribute to journalists killed reporting the news.
