The big story

The reporters, photographers and editors of United Press International lived and breathed for the big story. And the bigger the better. Few news organizations were better prepared to cover a news story with global implications. The Downhold Project presents personal accounts of some of the big stories covered by the news agency.

• World War II
  
• The Kennedy Assassination
  
• The Kennedy Funeral

If you're a downholder, please feel free to submit your account of your big story for inclusion in The Downhold Project.
