NIE helps teachers teach students in the Tri-State about newspapers and provides teachers with curriculum to help them use the newspaper to teach core subjects. Research shows students who read newspapers improve their critical reading and thinking skills and grow more conscious of issues facing their world. Newspapers cost only 9 cents each when ordered in bulk for regular school use. The remaining cost of the newspaper is funded by the NIE Foundation serving schools by making newspapers more affordable. The Indiana Center for Economic Education runs this new program which is currently in its inaugural semester.
Students participate either by fax or on the internet.
