Looking at the Newseum’s database, four eight of the nineteen names I’ve sent in have been added as of Friday today. Still waiting to see who else gets approved. The names so far:

* James Pergola, photographer, Pathe News
* William Pitt, editor, Pathe News
* Charles Traube, photographer, Pathe News
* Allyn Alexander, photographer, Fox Movietone News
* Dan Prehus, photographer, KYW-TV
* Gary Brown, photographer, KREM-TV
* Mary Shore, reporter, KTVB-TV
* Dan Sullivan, photographer, KTVB-TV
