"On the Media"
Making fun of the Newseum "is like shooting fish wrapper in a barrel," and it's easy to understand why journalists roll their eyes at mention of the place, says Bob Garfield. "[They] tend to react viscerally to pomposity and self-congratulation. But they also tend to be just too cool for the room." Maybe at a time like this, with press freedom under assault, "a measure of bluntness and self-congratulations and breathtaking scale is just what the doctor ordered."
> Blair Kamin: There's a lot in [the Newseum] that makes journalism come alive. I just wish that the building itself did more of the same." (Chicago Tribune)
