President Donald Trump on Dec. 23 signed a bill into law authorizing a memorial dedicated for fallen journalists.
The Fallen Journalist Memorial Act (H.R. 3465), passed through Congress with bipartisan support on Dec. 2, authorizes the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation (FJM) to establish an effort to build a first-of-its-kind privately funded memorial on federal lands in Washington, D.C.—the National Memorial to Fallen Journalists—to honor journalists who died while on the job.
