Add Excitement to the School Year!

What is Newspaper in Education?

Newspaper in Education (NIE) is a collaboration of The Flint Journal, schools and local businesses to use the newspaper as a teaching tool in the classroom.


Who can participate?

Teachers of kindergarten through 12th grade, special education courses or adult education classes can use newspapers to bridge the gap between textbooks and today's current events.


What are the benefits of NIE?

  1. Free Curriculum

    2. Choose from a variety of teacher resource guides and student supplements with ideas and lessons to use the newspaper. Click on NIE curriculum to see what is available.


  2. Field Trips

    3. NIE classrooms are eligible to tour The Flint Journal in downtown Flint. Contact the NIE Coordinator to learn more about scheduling tours.


  3. Workshops

    4. Get ideas and instructions on how to use newspapers in your classes with a free workshop by The Flint Journal's NIE Coordinator, Richard Vaughn.


  4. Help with Teaching Standards

    5. Use NIE to meet requirements in:

  • Geography

  • Language Arts

  • Literacy

  • Math

  • Science

  • Social Studies


How much does NIE cost?

Newspapers cost as low as .075¢ per copy. A minimum daily delivery order is 15 newspapers. Local businesses provide some sponsorships for classrooms in need of financial help. Sponsorships are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To help as many classrooms as possible, we ask each classroom to pay a one-time 2006/2007 school year cost of $15 per classroom.
