An easy way to help more kids learn from real news, not fake news.

We’re big fans of supporting quality journalism, especially in this age of where fake news is running rampant. Because, facts matter.

(Not that this is a big stake in the ground, mamas. I mean, is any normal person really like, “Whoo! Fake news! We need more of it!” Let’s hope not.)

So when I learned about The New York Times Sponsor a Subscription Program, I was so excited to share this with other parents and educators who feel the same way.

A donation of just $2–4 provides a free subscription to students in public schools across the country — though donations start at $10 –and for every subscription donated, The New York Times will match it with another.

In other words, from what we can tell from the site, a $100 donation funds up to 100 subscriptions in all.

Considering not all families or schools have this kind of access to the nation’s Paper of Record, I think it’s just terrific.

Plus, the students and teachers will get unlimited access to The New York Times Learning Network, one of Cool Mom Picks favorite educational online resources.

As a mom to a teenage daughter, I want her and other kids like her to be better informed about the world around them. Perhaps now more than ever. Because learning is progress — and that’s a fact.

You can make a donation of $10 and up to The New York Times Sponsor a Subscription Program on its subscription page. Note that this is not a tax-deductible contribution, but for just a few bucks, you can make a big difference.
