Associated Press exhibit visits Reynolds School of Journalism through Oct. 5

The Associated Press exhibit “Breaking News: How the Associated Press Has Covered War, Peace and Everything Else” is on display in the Reynolds School of Journalism atrium Tuesday through Friday.

The exhibit displays various AP pictures and the “story behind the story,” said Zanny Marsh, communications director for the College of Education, College of Liberal Arts and the Reynolds School of Journalism.

“The exhibit has the ability to tell the story of modern history from a different perspective,” she said.

The exhibit is composed of a series of giant AP photographs with the story behind the picture as well as the events that caused them.

On Oct. 3, Ellen Hale, Martha Mendoza and Brendan Riley will speak in Reynolds School of Journalism room 101 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. as part of the exhibit’s presentation.

Hale worked as a journalist for almost 30 years before becoming AP’s Vice President of Communications, journalism professor Deidre Pike said. Mendoza won a Pulitzer prize in 2000 for investigative reporting. Riley has been an AP correspondent living in Carson City since 1972.
