Each year, the Newseum rededicates the Journalists Memorial, which pays tribute to reporters, editors, photographers and broadcasters who gave their lives reporting the news. On May 3, 2010, the names of 88 journalists who died or were killed while on assignment in 2009 were added to the memorial, along with 6 journalists from previous years whose deaths were brought to the attention of the Newseum in 2009. The Journalists Memorial now honors 2,156 journalists from around the world who died covering the news from 1837 through 2012.
