Fun item in Yeas & Nays:
Who says journalism needs ethics? Certainly not the Newseum.
Visitors to the new, popular Pennsylvania Avenue museum about journalism might notice that the “Ethics” exhibit doesn’t get much real estate. (This despite the seemingly endless ethics scandals — Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass, Jack Kelley — that have tarnished the fourth estate’s credibility in recent years).
It clocks in at 800 square feet.
What’s that, you say? Sounds like some sizable space? Well, then, consider this: The Newseum’s gift shop — all two floors of it — occupies a whopping 2,600 square feet.
We’ve got an explanation for the disparity. Space allocation. Surely these books are available for purchase in the gift shop?

And what’s the percentage of ethics coverage in your site or any other media site compared to the regular news stories and the all important advertisements?
