Bill and Gayle Newman, civilian eyewitnesses to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, cover their children as CBS News photographer Tom Craven (C) and White House photographer Tom Atkins (R) take pictures in Dealey Plaza after shots were fired at Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, was a transformative live, global TV news event.
