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)[.[1]

New Zealand

One example is New Zealand, where many individual newspapers had an NiE programme but these no longer exist.

There were 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)

United Kingdom

The Gazette Media Centre, a modern educational facility that was part of the Gazette Media Company in Middlesbrough, was part of Newspapers in Education.[citation needed]
