What is NIE?

Newspapers in Education (NIE) is one of the most exciting educational tools available today. The Quad-City Times provides newspapers to area schools by subsidizing 75 percent of the cost of classroom newspapers. The rest of the cost is covered by donations from readers, fundraisers and local businesses who make up our Partners in Education initiative.

The daily newspaper is a dynamic textbook that chronicles our times and stimulates young minds. Think about how the newspaper keeps you informed about world events, the economy, and local news. What you may not realize is the newspaper gives you a daily lesson in geography, economics, math, technology, science and social studies. It is the most up-to-date textbook available.

Newspapers are just the beginning of the NIE experience. We provide teachers at all levels, from kindergarten to adult education, with the tools to provide new ideas and programs that they can use in the classroom.
