The Newspaper Licensing Agency (NLA)
The NLA has launched the Newspapers for Schools initiative, which includes two services designed to ease the use of newspaper material in schools whilst ensuring full compliance with copyright law.
A free paper copying licence will be available for any school in the UK with pupils up to the age of 16, to permit them to copy news articles. An online research service will allow schools access in one place to over nine million newspaper clippings in PDF format from over 100 UK national and regional titles.
The free paper copying licence ensures full compliance with copyright regulations, whilst the research service will let teachers and pupils quickly and easily find high quality real-life material for use in lessons. Being from UK newspapers from 2006 onwards, a high degree of quality and relevancy is assured, and quick PDF downloads ease school storage issues.
