Early journalists invented the 5 Ws–who, what, when, where, and whether there would be free food–primarily as a way of choosing which industry parties to attend. Witness journalism's exciting evolution with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get one adult admission to the Newseum (up to a $21.95 value).
Deemed one of the world’s 12 coolest museums by the Sunday Times, the Newseum uses new technology to tell the history of newspapers, journalism, and groundbreaking photography. Beyond the museum's 74-foot engraving of the First Amendment and its glass atrium, 14 permanent exhibits include the News Corporation News History Gallery, where 10 touch screens offer time lines, games, close-up views of publications, and a live cam of Tom Brokaw's nose. Several theaters screen documentaries that focus on journalistic issues, and the temporary Photo Finish exhibit displays legendary sports photographer Neil Leifer’s work, including a shot of a victorious Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston while announcing his career transition to badminton. The Berlin Wall Gallery shows how news shaped the story of the wall being torn down, with eight 12-foot sections of the wall on display.

The Groupon Guide to: Writing a Hit Song
As hit song makers The Beatles once said, "Help! I need some money!" Lucky for them—and you—writing a popular song is a quick and easy way to get cash. Here are some tips for making tunes:
Explore popular songs of the past, which have covered such topics as love, revenge, when to do nightclub fornication, when not to do nightclub fornication, The Entertainer, and people who can be called "Al."
Every song must have at least one verse of rap and one four-minute bridge of animals calling for their mothers.
Keep your audience in mind. Right now the best music-purchasing demographics are teenagers and trains powered by inspirational song.
Lay on a thick helping of bassoon. Can't nobody resist bassoon tunes.
People love to steal music, so be sure that the only copies of your song are in your head.
Make an inexpensive music video for your song by using dance-floor footage from your bar mitzvah or dance-floor footage from your second child's birth.
