“Inside Tim Russert’s Office: If It’s Sunday, It’s ‘Meet the Press’” recreates Russert’s NBC Washington office much as it looked when he died of a heart attack in June 2008 while preparing for his next show.
The office, located on the Newseum’s fourth level, offers a unique window into the world of a newsman at the top of his game.
Russert’s desk is stacked high with research material, books and handwritten notes, illustrating the rigorous preparation Russert put into each show. “Meet the Press” frequently broke news and was the most-watched Sunday morning public affairs program.
Family, faith and sports were important themes in Russert’s life, as evidenced by his favorite books, family photos and mementos of his beloved Buffalo Bills that line his office.
