STORYLINE:
Tributes continued to be broadcast on Saturday, following the death of highly respected newsman Tim Russert, aged 58-years-old.
NBC's longtime political pundit and bulldog reporter suffered a heart attack while at work, on Friday.
Russert, the network's Washington bureau chief, was stricken while recording voiceovers for his Sunday programme, "Meet the Press.''
NBC says Tom Brokaw will host a special edition of the show tomorrow, dedicated to Russert.
At Washington's Newseum, a display of American newspaper front pages was dominated with pictures of Russert.
The museum's deputy director, Jack Hurley, said that shows how influential he was.
"All across the USA, editors of large newspapers and small newspapers and medium-sized newspapers in all parts of the country felt that he was important enough to put on their front pages and that's a great tribute to him," said Hurley.
Outside the memorial at NBC, a touching tribute was given to AP Television by a woman who had known Russert for 13 years.
Jocelyn Rock explained that she worked at a restaurant frequented by Russert and used to see him a lot.
"We used to have very personable chats and when I heard yesterday, it just felt so surreal," she said.
"He just had such an energy to his life I never thought that something like this would happen so I just felt so terrible for him and his family."
US President George W Bush spoke of Russert as a hard-working, thorough and decent man.
At a news conference in Paris with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Bush said that he, his wife Laura and the American people have Russert's widow, Maureen, and son Luke in their thoughts and prayers.
