About the Newseum Digital Classroom

The Newseum Digital Classroom is a national news literacy website that provides high-quality digital media content in a curriculum-based structure for elementary, high school and college classes. The easily accessible materials, offered in conjunction with the Newseum's Education Department, meet the standards of learning requirements of many states and give students a deeper understanding of the five freedoms of the First Amendment.

Through this website, the Newseum hopes to promote critical thinking and civic responsibility and verify the timeless belief that an informed citizenry is the bulwark of democracy.
