Newspaper in Education Week was designed to better serve students, teachers can explore a variety of ways to develop their skills and increase their knowledge. One such move includes bringing newspapers back into the classroom and including them in the array of materials used to teach important information and skills. Newspapers in Education Week is sponsored by an organization called Newspapers in Education, a community of newspapers and professional groups. The earliest incarnation of NIEW can be traced back to June 8, 1795, when the Portland (Maine) Eastern Herald printed editorial showcasing the collaborative work between local newspapers and area schools.
