Photojournalist, NPC member recalls her experience at US Capitol during deadly attack

In the first of a two-part series featuring journalists who were on the scene that day, National Press Club Broadcast/Podcast Committee member and American University assistant professor in communications Gemma Puglisi interviews photojournalist and NPC member Cheriss May, who was working as a freelancer on that historic day.
