NIE is a co-operative effort involving newspapers working with local schools. Their common interest is the use of the newspaper as a tool for instruction. Under the NIE program, newpapers provide copies of newspapers to schools -- usually at half price -- for use in their classrooms or library.
NIE also sponsors teacher-education programs and offers curriculum materials to help schools use the newspaper as a meaningful resource for student learning.
The Yuma Sun currently has 430 NIE teachers, and we deliver over 17,000 newspapers to schools in Yuma County every week.
