Welcome to Newspapers in Education!

The goal of the Times-News Newspaper in Education program is to encourage and support the use of newspapers in the classroom as a tool for promoting literacy and to maintain a program that will inform, involve, and inspire students to learn more about the world around them.

The Newspaper in Education program is devoted to providing a service to children, teachers, and the community. The program is grounded in the belief that reading the newspaper is an essential element in the formation of citizenship.
