Newseum Beaten Out By Free Museums

WASHINGTON (AP) –  The Newseum – a private museum dedicated to exploring modern history as told through the eyes of journalists – is closing its doors after 11 years. The Newseum will close for good Tuesday. Administrators say they are proud of their work but found it difficult to compete with a city full of free museums while charging $25 for an adult ticket. The Freedom Forum, an educational foundation that runs the museum, says it will find other ways to continue its work, like smaller travelling exhibits in airports and regional museums around the country.
