Welcome to Hickory Daily Record Newspapers in Education

   Newspapers in Education (NIE) is a nationwide program whose purpose is to increase literacy of children by using the newspapers as a teaching tool. More than 700 newspapers in the US & Canada participate in the NIE program throughout the school year.

The Hickory Daily Record NIE program provides teachers with newspapers for their classroom each week, access to lesson plans in conjunction with the newspaper at no cost to the teachers or the students.

The Hickory Daily Record absorbs the cost of printing and distributing the newspapers for the program and relies on support from area businesses so educators may participate in the program at no cost.
