Newspaper in Education

NIE is an international program with a long history! Most major newspapers around the world have NIE departments. The general mission of all NIE programs is the same: help teachers and students who want to learn from the newspaper. Many programs are also involved in local literacy campaigns and classes for English Language Learners. (ELL)

The Daily Hampshire Gazette’s NIE program started in the 1980s. Today our NIE program involves over 100 schools from the greater Pioneer Valley. We have a weekly NIE page for grades K-6, Kid Scoop, and we publish serial stories and educational series throughout the year.
