What exact text and imagery appeared on the podium at Kristi Noem's Jan. 8 press conference, and which outlets published close‑up photos?
Executive summary
The podium at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Jan. 8 press conference in New York bore the phrase “One Of Ours, All Of Yours,” and several news organizations published photographs or image files from the event that show that wording; broadcast outlets also carried video of the event (and many outlets published stills or wire images) [1] [2] [3]. Available reporting identifies Reuters, Vanity Fair (via Bloomberg/Getty imagery), and at least one AP‑credited photo circulated and was published by The American Prospect, while local and broadcast outlets carried full video or live feeds [2] [3] [1] [4] [5].
1. What exactly was on the podium: the literal text and apparent imagery
Multiple accounts of the Jan. 8 One World Trade Center news conference report the same short slogan on the podium: “One Of Ours, All Of Yours,” which was repeatedly described in copy accompanying photographs and in coverage of Noem’s remarks [1]. The sources consulted characterize that wording as the standout visual element on the lectern; none of the provided reports give a separate, detailed inventory of logos, seals or additional graphics on the podium beyond capturing and quoting that prominent phrase [1] [2]. Because the available stories focus on the slogan as the defining podium graphic, the published record here is limited to that text; the supplied materials do not enumerate other small marks or confirm the presence or absence of an official DHS or agency seal in close detail [1] [2].
2. Which outlets published photographs that show the podium text
Photography and image services distributed frames from the event that explicitly show the podium slogan, and several outlets used or published those images. The American Prospect ran coverage that quotes and captions a photo credit identifying Anthony Behar / Sipa USA via AP Images and explicitly mentions Noem “speaking behind a podium bearing the phrase ‘One Of Ours, All Of Yours’” [1]. Reuters’ image service published photographs from the One World Trade Center news conference showing Noem and her senior officials at the lectern [2]. Vanity Fair’s story about the event included Getty/Bloomberg photography showing Noem at the podium in context, and the captioning in that piece likewise depicts Noem speaking behind the lectern in the building [3]. Those three outlets—American Prospect (using an AP‑credited image), Reuters (via Reuters Connect), and Vanity Fair (via Bloomberg/Getty images)—are explicitly shown in the reporting as publishing photos that capture the podium text or the podium as a clear visual element [1] [2] [3].
3. Broadcast outlets and wire services that carried footage or stills
Local and national broadcast outlets provided live or recorded video of the press conference, which also conveys the podium’s appearance: NBC New York ran the press conference as part of its coverage and posted video of Noem’s remarks [4], C‑SPAN carries the press conference video in full [5], and PBS NewsHour archived coverage of Noem’s remarks as well [6]. Wire and photo services distributed event imagery widely—Reuters’ connect item and AP‑attributed photos (as noted in American Prospect’s credit) were available for news customers, meaning other publishers likely republished close photographic views under wire service licensing [2] [1]. The reporting available does not provide a comprehensive wire‑by‑wire list of every outlet that used close‑up stills, only specific examples documented above [1] [2] [3].
4. Limits of the public record and competing narratives
Coverage of the event focused primarily on Noem’s remarks about the Minneapolis ICE shooting and the political reaction; descriptions of the podium center on the quoted phrase rather than a forensic visual inventory, and that is reflected in the sources [7] [8]. Where outlets published images, the citations above identify those publications and their image credits; however, the supplied reporting does not claim to be exhaustive of all publications that may have posted tight close‑ups of the lectern under wire service distribution, and it does not include a frame‑by‑frame catalog of logos or tiny markings beyond the slogan itself [1] [2] [3].
