‘A slow-motion disaster’: Journalism museum in talks about possible building sale

Two months shy of its 10th anniversary in a glass-and-steel showpiece on Washington’s most prestigious thoroughfare, executives at the struggling Newseum will meet Thursday with a top real estate firm to explore options that include selling their building or moving to another location.

The previously undisclosed talks with officials from the international firm Eastdil Secured — which were confirmed by museum management after it was contacted by The Washington Post — are the latest sign of uncertainty at an institution that has been swamped in debt and roiled by leadership shake-ups.
