Newspapers are an invaluable source of inspiration for teachers and students. Over 50% of teachers use newspaper content on a weekly basis.
On behalf of newspapers around the UK, the Newspaper Licensing Agency (NLA) offers two services designed to make use of newspaper material as easy as possible in schools, whilst being fully compliant with copyright law.
- Paper copying: A FREE licence available for any school in the UK, which permits them to make copying of news print.
- News Library: An online service allowing schools access to newspaper clippings in PDF format from over 140 UK national and regional titles, all in a single place. It’s completely FREE.
The News Library offers recent content in a one-stop-shop. For older material, many newspapers also offer their own individual archive services.

Fund kickstarts careers of almost 100 journalists
At the event, NCTJ chairman Kim Fletcher accepted a £100,000 donation on behalf of the Journalism Diversity Fund from David Pugh, Managing Director of the Newspaper Licensing Agency.
David said: "By the end of 2010, the NLA will have contributed over half a million pounds to the Journalism Diversity Fund since its launch in 2005.
"We, and the newspapers we represent, are proud to have supported the training of just under 100 journalists in that time."
