Newspapers as a research tool

Through a special agreement with more than 2,000 newspapers worldwide, the Newseum displays their front pages each day on its website.

A list of 19 news websites for students of all ages (grades K-12).

What news sites can students trust? These great, classroom-friendly news websites can give students different perspectives on key current events. There are picks on this list for students of all grade levels with appropriately adjusted content. For those sites that target developing readers, the reading levels are dialed down but not dumbed down. Most importantly, all of these options have a few key things in common: They're unbiased and well-researched, and they dig into a host of topics that students will naturally gravitate toward.
