The third and largest section discusses the newspaper as a teaching aid for specific courses, as a means of interesting slow learners, evaluate mass media, as an aid to developing reading habits, as a source of writing examples, and as a living textbook. Newspaper units for grades7-10 are also provided. The booklet concludes with a section on the bulletin board, scrapbook, vertical file, and the use of the library. Appendixes provide an outline for a local workshop; a survey of leading newspapers; a list of suspensions; mergers, changes, and new dailies in 1960; a list of the newspapers with the largest circulations; and a selected bibliography.
