For Immediate Release
April 24, 2006
Newspaper articles from 1963 detail the assassination of President Kennedy, the capture of Lee Harvey Oswald and Oswald's murder just 48 hours later.
"JFK KILLED BY SNIPER" read the headline of the The News-Herald on the evening of November 22, 1963. "President John F. Kennedy, thirty-fifth president of the United States, was shot to death today by a hidden assassin armed with a high-powered rifle," the paper explained on that eventful day in 1963.

"The Kennedy assassination is a 'where were you when' moment in American history," said Jeff Kiley, General Manager of NewspaperARCHIVE.com. "It was an event that affected everyone in America on some level."
Newspapers all across the country ran special editions or changed their evening editions to cover the assassination as soon as the first reports came in. "President Kennedy is dead. He died in a hospital after being cut down by an assassin's bullet while his motorcade was moving along on the outskirts of Dallas," read an article in the Reno Evening Gazette on November 22, 1963. Some newspapers also managed to publish reports on the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald. The Panama City Herald reported that Oswald "was pulled screaming and yelling from the Texas theater in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas shortly after a Dallas policeman was shot to death."
"The coverage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy still touches our lives today," said Greg Hollingsworth, researcher for KennedyAssassinationArchive.com. "From young students to conspiracy theorists, it is an event in American history that continues to draw interest."
