Newspapers in Education

Newspapers in Education (NiE) is a programme designed to help teachers teach children about newspapers, how they work, and how to use them. National programmes exist in more than 80 countries according to research by the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA). One example is New Zealand, where many individual newspapers have such an NiE programme:

• The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead - www.theforumNIE.com
• Taranaki Daily News
• The Dominion Post
• Manawatu Evening Standard
• The Marlborough Express
• The Nelson Mail
• The Press
• The Star
• The Timaru Herald
• The Southland Times
• The Sunday Star-Times
• Waikato Times

There are different 'levels' of activity papers-one for each curriculum level:

• Go Zone Junior (Year 1-2)
• Go Zone (Year 3-4)
• i-Site (Year 5-6)
• NewsLinks (Year 7-8)
• Zoned In (Year 9-10)
