Newspapers in Education
What is NIE?
Through The News-Gazette in Education program, local educators can receive curriculum materials and classroom sets of The News-Gazette for FREE, thanks to the support of our Educational Partners. All we ask is that you receive a minimum of FIVE newspapers per delivery. We'll deliver the quantity of papers you request to your school. Just contact NIE Manager Bob Cicone, Jr at nie@news-gazette.com.
The News Gazette is now an all morning delivery newspaper. School bundles will be delivered by 6:00am in suburban areas, and by 9:30am in Champaign/Urbana.
