For more than twenty-five years, The Florida Times-Union’s Newspaper in Education program has developed partnerships with local corporate sponsors to provide area teachers and students newspapers in their classrooms. The newspaper is an ideal way for teachers to supplement dated textbooks, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills with fun hands-on activities, as well as add a sense of reality and real-life learning to the classroom.

The E-Edition, an exact electronic replica of The Florida Times-Union, serves as a powerful tool for engaging these young, multi-tasking students.
