Newspaper In Education is a cooperative effort of newspapers working with local schools to use the newspaper as a tool for instruction. Under the program, newspapers provide copies, usually at reduced rate, to schools for use in their classrooms. They also sponsor teacher-education programs and offer curriculum materials to help schools use the newspaper as a meaningful resource for student learning.

Each NIE program differs according to the needs of the local educational community. Newspapers are used as learning tools in social studies, reading, language arts, math, science and many other areas throughout the curriculum. They may be used at any age level, including adult education. They find their way outside the classroom into other areas including homes for senior citizens, prisons and hospitals.
