National Press Club displays Capital Gazette front-page coverage of shooting

The National Press Club displayed the June 29 front page of The Capital Gazette on the wall of its members-only bar and grill, The Reliable Source, on the day that the paper was published.

The Annapolis newspaper’s A1 covers the aftermath of the June 28 shooting in its newsroom that killed five journalists. The front page is the newest addition to dozens of other historic front pages from newspapers around the country adorning the walls of The Reliable Source that depict important moments in U.S. culture.

On the day of the shooting, Club President Andrea Edney released a statement calling on some political leaders to end their “practice of disparaging media” following The Capital Gazette tragedy.
