What is NIE?

Newspapers in Education (NIE) is one of the most exciting educational tools available today. The Times and Democrat provides newspapers to area schools by subsidizing 75 percent of the cost of classroom newspapers. The rest of the cost is covered by donations from readers, fundraisers and local businesses who make up our Partners in Education initiative.

The daily newspaper is a dynamic textbook that chronicles our times and stimulates young minds. Think about how the newspaper keeps you informed about world events, the economy, and local news. What you may not realize is the newspaper gives you a daily lesson in geography, economics, math, technology, science and social studies. It is the most up-to-date textbook available. Newspapers are just the beginning of the NIE experience. We provide teachers at all levels, from kindergarten to adult education, with the tools to provide new ideas and programs that they can use in the classroom.

 

What NIE means to you?

As a Partner in Education you receive a variety of benefits:

>Why NIE is important to you?


>How do students benefit?

Students from kindergarten to grade 12 discover exciting information about current events, science, and social issues that affect their lives. Using newspapers as teaching elements helps teachers develop competent students in basic skills like reading and math. The newspaper is an ideal classroom tool because:

• Newspapers are timely and relevant. Current affairs come alive, while ads deal with real products, prices and events

• Newspapers motivate. There is something in every newspaper to interest every student: comics, sports, ads, photographs and local features.

• Newspapers are adaptable. Students can read, cut, paste, fold, spindle, tear, color and write on a newspaper … and then recycle it

• The United Way estimates that illiteracy costs taxpayers and businesses $20 billion per year.
