For the 2009-2010 Newspaper In Education at The Tennessean, The Leaf Chronicle, The Daily News Journal, and The Jackson Sun will only deliver electronic copies of the newspaper to NIE classrooms.
We're making the change not only to take advantage of new technology, but also to be good stewards of our NIE donations: The money we raise for NIE can go a lot farther by purchasing e-editions for participating classrooms, which means we will be able to expand the program to even more teachers.
