Mission Statement

The Newseum educates the public about the value of a free press in a free society and tells the stories of the world's important events in unique and engaging ways.

In its prominent location on historic Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., the Newseum blends 500 years of news history, up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits for a one-of-a-kind museum experience.

The Newseum is a 501(c)(3) public charity and is funded by contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations. The Newseum does not accept government funds.
