• In his first few months at the Newseum, Duff was paid $1.6 million, including $133,000 in salary, a $50,000 bonus and $1.4 million in deferred compensation for retirement, according to the organization's 2011 IRS filing. The $1.4 million was a one-time payment. The outgoing Newseum chairman, Charles Overby, was paid $632,193 in 2011, including $390,000 in base salary, $129,000 in other compensation, $92,000 for retirement and other benefits.

The current Smithsonian secretary was paid $556,562 for 2011, the most recent year of tax filings. Some of the outrage over the former secretary's pay was due to the fact that unlike the Newseum, the Smithsonian is mostly funded by taxpayer money.
