Newspapers in Education (NIE) is a nationwide effort begun by Newspaper Association to pro- mote literacy throughout our schools. It allows teachers to use newspapers to stir the interest of today's youth by having their students read and study them.

By creating an avenue of interest in the newspaper genre, students are encouraged to be creative, form opinions, and strengthen their skills in all subject ar- eas. NIE also allows the opportunity for everyone in the community, from local businesses, charities, and other such organizations, to participate in strengthening literacy levels in local schools.
