Favorite artifact on NewseumED: The Daisy Ad from the 1964 presidential election — if you think it's bad now, prepare to be very surprised!

Favorite artifact on NewseumED: This melodramatic account of Alexander Hamilton's death following his duel with Aaron Burr (sir). It shows that the excessive use of exclamation points and capslock seen online today is nothing new.

Favorite artifact on NewseumED: The New York Post report on Orson Welles's Halloween radio program based on "The War of the Worlds." His adaptation was so realistic that thousands believed they were hearing news broadcasts of an actual Martian invasion of Earth!
