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 100 UK national and regional titles, all in a single place. For 2009 it’s completely FREE.
For educational vendors and virtual learning environment providers, the online research service can be integrated into your business, offering greater value to schools.
The News Library offers recent content in a one-stop-shop. For older material, many newspapers also offer their own individual archive services.
