The studio space at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. is changing hands, Broadcasting & Cable’s John Eggerton reports. Next month, ABC’s “This Week” will vacate the space and return to the network’s Washington bureau, and Al Jazeera America will move in.

...

Al Jazeera America, which B&C reports will have both office space and editing facilities in the Newseum, is preparing for its launch later this year. The network recently hired Adam May, a local reporter from Baltimore, as a D.C.-based national correspondent.

It’s getting to the point where I trust Al-Jazeera more than our own networks.

The hubristic shrine to journalism, the Newseum, is in dire financial rigor mortis having sqandered a nearly one-billion dollar endowment in breathtaking time. This is why, Al Jazeera. Frank Gannett must be weeping in his grave.

Well, who will be able to tell the difference?

Maryland "Freak State" PING!

I though ABC was Al Jazeera.

Good Mideast coverage is a “must” these days. I have no problem with this at all.

Disgusting.

Great! The Newseum needs new cafeteria fare like gyros, falafel and hummus — their ham & cheese sandwiches are so blah!

(sarc)

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Gyros are Greek, not Middle Eastern.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Shows you how much I know about the culture. Meh.
