The museum charges $25 for what visitors to D.C. get for free at the National Air and Space Museum, Library of Congress, and Jefferson Memorial. This and the internet’s corrosive effect on the print journalism celebrated by the museum serve as the default answers to why the venture, built for $450 million less than a decade ago, struggles. But it really fails because journalists fail at their jobs. Americans don’t view their profession as one comprised of honorable people.
