Cabrini students can now get “All the news that’s fit to print” for free.

The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and USA Today are now available at no cost to students in the residence halls.

The Collegiate Readership Program, sponsored by USA Today made it possible. They run the program that offers newspapers to schools for free for a four-week trial period. After that, the school has the option to continue the program at a cost.

The program is intended to increase discussion and awareness of current events among college students, as well as make students life long newspaper readers, according to their website.

The newspapers are available in Woodcrest, House two, the New Residence Hall and the apartments. The trial period began last Monday and will run for 20 issues. There are white racks in the lobbies of each of the dorms. The paper is delivered five days a week.

Any old papers that are not picked up by students are collected as the new issues are set out and they are taken for recycling.

Information about the program is available online at www.usatodaycollege.com.
