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?

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.
