I had asked back before school ended about newspapers in the elementary
schools( to be used by fourth graders as a news sources for daily news
broadcasts).  Here are the few responses I received:

USA is the only newspaper we use.  You could also tape news programs
through your local PBS channels for free.

What about "News Currents"? This is a filmstrip that comes out weekly
with about 20 different topics on it. There is a paper script furnished
with the facts about each topic. It's news from mostly the US, but also
includes world happenings. My subscription was $99/year.

Here's how to contact them: 1-800-356-2303. E-mail: newscurrents@ku.com

I don't know it the Times has an NIE Director (Newspaper in Education).
The
AMerican Newspaper Publisher's Association Foundation (may have another
name--check Gale's Dir. of Org) has NIE Chair, Betty Sullivan.  The
directory should list her address, which is Washington, DC or Reston, VA.

USA Today has great materials to use with the newspaper.
