Digital Content for Teachers

The Media Center has started a subscription with the New York Times for all students, faculty and staff who register and activate an account. The subscription also provides unlimited access to the Learning Network which provides K12 specific learning content and resources to be used in your classrooms. To successfully register and activate your account, please carefully follow the steps below:
  1. Visit nytimes.com/passes to activate your New York Times digital pass. 

  2. On nytimes.com/passes, click on "Register" and create a free account using your school email address. If you already have a NYTimes.com account associated with your school email address, log in with those credentials.

  3. Validate your email address. Check your email inbox for a confirmation message from The New York Times. Click on the link in your confirmation message to validate your email address and claim your New York Times Digital Pass. Note: If the confirmation email didn’t arrive, check your spam folder. If it isn’t there, send an email to [email protected] from your school email address to request confirmation.

  4. Success! You have successfully claimed a Digital Pass when you see the "Start Your Access" screen.

  5.  Explore the NYTimes.com and The New York Times News App from any location, on or off campus, by simply logging into your NYTimes.com account directly on NYTimes.com! We strongly suggest you download the New York Times mobile app at nytimes.com/mobile. NYT Cooking and NYT Games are not included in your digital access.
If you would like your students to utilize the New York Times, please have them go through the same process. If students (or faculty/staff) try to login with their JSD email address without registering first, they won't be successful so it will be important to walk them through the process. 
 
Wall Street Journal offers online coverage of breaking news and current headlines from the US and around the world. The library provides digital access to all faculty, staff, and students.
