NYT in Class

If you want to assign NYT articles for students to read, you can copy the URL in the address bar and paste it into your syllabus or Canvas. Students will need to have a Whitman NYT account to read the article without a paywall. You can also still access the New York Times through US Newsstream and New York Times Historial (1851-2016).

You can use the New York Times in the classroom via nytimesineducation.com and nytimes.com/learning. Consult the NYT in Education guide below for more information.

While we are not able to provide institutional access to union-bulletin.com, we do have two options below for access to recent and historical editions. The most recent physical edition is always available on the newspapers rack on the main floor of the library near the couches at the right on entry.
