NADAAA has been selected among three other teams to advance in the final round of design selection for the Fallen Journalists Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The memorial will be the first national memorial dedicated to press freedom and journalists who have lost their lives in service to that cause.

“We are thrilled by the incredible enthusiasm the design and architecture community has shown in participating in this important effort. Every submission showed a deep appreciation for the vital role of the free press in maintaining democracy and for the sacrifices journalists make to report the news. We are grateful for the expertise shown by our Design Team Selection Committee members as they made the difficult decision on which teams to advance to the next stage.” – Barbara Cochran, President of the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation
