News leadership groups call for moment of silence in newsrooms for Capital Gazette  
 
The tragedy last Thursday at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, tears at our hearts, tugs at our compassion and calls forth our fears for the safety of all those on the front lines of truth, accountability and journalistic pursuit.

To honor those who lost their lives and to show support to those who lost family, friends, co-workers and peers,  we ask newsrooms around the globe to join 
The Baltimore Sun Media Group  in a moment of silence spent in contemplation, prayer, reflection or meditation at 2:33 p.m. EDT Thursday, July 5, 2018. 

As we unite in solidarity behind the grit of the Capital Gazette team and its media family, let us remember the very real needs of those in Annapolis. Funds have been set up for the families of those lost and to assist the newsroom with its recovery. Please consider  giving help where help is sorely needed.

ASNE and APME also encourage all newsrooms to review and share this two-page tip sheet we put together with some of the best wisdom of journalism organizations committed to journalist safety and the pursuit of a free and dedicated press corps.


With our arms and hearts wide open,

American Society of News Editors                               Associated Press Media Editors
