The North Carolina Newspaper in Education program encourages young people to become lifelong readers and learners, capable writers, informed, involved adults, thoughtful consumers of news and advocates for the First Amendment.
 


Newspapers enhance learning in North Carolina classrooms.

N.C. Newspapers in Education, a program of the NC Press Foundation, supports the use of print and online newspapers for teaching and learning in homes, public and private schools and adult education.

NC NIE provides standard-based curriculum guides and credit workshops for teachers and offers educational content for publication in newspapers. Content includes in-paper features, serial stories and tabloid sections.

NC NIE works with North Carolina newspapers and other organizations to promote literacy, civic learning and character education and enhance learning about a broad range of subjects.
