Ordering Papers
NIE is digital! The News & Observer Newspapers in Education program now
offers an exact replica of The News & Observer online - FREE to students and
teachers for classroom use!
In The News & Observer's primary delivery area (Wake, Durham, Orange, and
Johnston counties), print editions are still available for a charge of 25
cents each, but in other counties where delivery costs have become even more
exorbitant, schools can only order e-editions.
You can register, sign up for subscriptions, manage your account and access
the e-edition from our
new website.
Here's an overview of the registration process:
Step 1: Click here
to start. Click the
"Sign Up" button. Select a teacher login and password for security
purposes. This is the login you will use to manage your orders. Later you
will create a login for you and your students to use to access the
e-edition. You will also enter your name and school email address.Step 2: After you see the "New Account - Thank You" page, you'll need to
check your email inbox for an activation link. The email will have the
subject line "Please activate your new account." Click on the link in the
email to activate your account.Step 3: You should now see the main menu page of the NIE teacher
registration system. Click on the "Place new order" button to place your
order.Step 4: From the next screen, you will select your school and the calendar
on which you teach. If yours is a 12-month position in a year-round school,
select track 5. Enter your phone number at the school, the grades you teach,
and the TOTAL number of students you teach.Step 5: The Subscription Schedule screen allows you to determine how long
you want your subscriptions to last. Enter your start and stop date and days
of week you want to order. The default will be the day you order through the
last day of the school year. Next, choose a username and password different
than the teacher login that you created in step one. This login and
password will be used by you and your students to access the free e-edition
from school or home. If you choose to use the e-edition you must order a
minimum of 10 copies. You will login to the E-edition from the blue box in
the middle of the NIE home page.NOTE: If receiving print copies of the newspaper is an option in your
county, you'll need to select whether you want the free E-edition only or if
you want to order print copies on one or more days of the week at a cost of
25 cents per copy. You will need to indicate the number of copies you want
(minimum of 5 copies for print). Then agree to the terms listed and select
Continue. If you selected print copies, payment of 25 cents per copy will be
due at the time of the order. It is payable by credit card only.Step 6: You will now see a Subscription Confirmation page outlining the
details of your subscription. If everything looks good, click "Submit Order"
to finalize your order. You will receive an email confirmation of your
subscription as well - AND - you will have immediate access to the e-edition
through a link that is provided! If you ordered print copies, your
confirmation will also serve as a receipt.NOTE: If you selected the print option, please allow 5 working days to
process your order and start your newspaper delivery.If you have any questions about the e-edition or the registration process,
