~  History of our organization

For more than 30 years, the Newspaper in Education (NIE) program of the Evansville newspaper has served the Tri-State by providing educational opportunities for teachers and students through workshops and special programs.  The NIE Foundation was established in 1999 to encourage the usage of newspapers in classrooms by area teachers by making papers more affordable.

~  Purpose of our organization

The Tri-State Newspaper in Education Foundation is a public benefit corporation organized for educational purposes.  Its primary purpose is to provide funds to schools to buy newspapers, to make newspaper curriculum materials available to assist teachers, and to encourage reading of newspapers by students especially those who do not have access to newspapers in their homes.
