Newspaper In Education (NIE) is an international program to promote and increase our children’s literacy by using the newspaper as a teaching tool. Championed by the Lincoln Journal Star, NIE is a unique way for schools, businesses and the local newspaper to work together in a partnership that benefits all of us—now and in the future.

Through the use of the daily news, editorials, features and even advertising, student at all grade levels can learn educational concepts like math and cost comparison skills, geography and meteorology, history and current events and how they shape our world, all while improving reading and comprehension skills.

NIE helps motivate and teach students with a textbook as fresh as each day’s news.
