The museum about journalism and the First Amendment announced Monday that it would waive its regular $12.95 admission fee for youth beginning Friday. The deal will run through Labor Day on Sept. 5.

The Newseum is one of Washington's most expensive museums other times during the year. It charges $21.95 for adults, $17.95 for seniors and $12.95 for youth.
