Washington Newseum Honors 82 Journalists Killed in 2012

USCIS 100:06 6. What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?*

VOAVideo: Washington Newseum Honors 82 Journalists Killed in 2012

The First Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and also protects freedom of the press. But in many countries, journalists are not allowed to report the news or criticize their governments, and are punished or even killed for doing so. And in war zones, journalists are frequently exposed to crossfire. The dangers to journalists are evident in the number of those killed in the line of duty. VOA's Carolyn Presutti takes us to the Newseum in Washington, to show us the most dangerous country for journalists in 2012.


The Newseum is a museum dedicated to freedom of the press and other First Amendment issues.
For more info about the Newseum, see www.newseum.com.

Two VOA Stories about Immigration

VOAVideo: Washington Week: Obama Trip to Mexico Keeps Focus on Immigration Reform


Washington's political cacophony will be muffled this week, with Congress in recess and President Barack Obama scheduled to travel outside the United States.

VOAVideo: Same-Sex Spouses Seek Equal Immigration Rights

Published on Feb 21, 2013
Americans who marry citizens of other countries have the right to sponsor their spouse for legal immigrant status. That option is forbidden to same-sex couples, however, even those legally married in one of the U.S. states that permit it -- because a federal law defines marriage as solely between a man and a woman. VOA's Carolyn Weaver reports on the dilemma that bi-national same-sex couples face. They fear the law may force them to leave the U.S. or tear them apart.
