Thanks to a new partnership agreement, students and employees at Linfield University are now able to access free subscriptions to Yamhill County’s News-Register.
Students can sign up for their free continuing subscription online through the newly created Linfield student subscription page – newsregister.com/linfieldstudents. The digital subscription includes 24/7 access to NewsRegister.com and early access to three weekly e-editions. Each school year, students will be eligible to renew their subscription while enrolled as a current student.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to help expand connectivity between Linfield and the McMinnville/Yamhill County community,” said Jeb Bladine, News-Register publisher. “That connectivity is a long and important tradition, and ‘meeting’ on pages of the local newspaper is a good way to help sustain our common appreciation for what Linfield University and the local community mean to each other.”
Linfield employees are eligible for a free 90-day trial to NewsRegister.com, granting them access to paid subscriber benefits. Faculty and staff can activate their account on the Linfield employee subscription page at www.newsregister.com/linfieldstaff.
This partnership is not the first between Linfield University and the News-Register. The organizations have previously collaborated on various special events, internships and community initiatives. Recently, this included Linfield’s NW Media Fest and a showing of “For the Record” with the Oregon Public Information Partnership.
“At Linfield University, we strive to cultivate engaged members of our community. This involves encouraging students to stay well-informed about the issues, news, and events that shape the world around them,” said Jeff Mackay, vice president for student affairs at Linfield. “We deeply appreciate the News-Register’s generous support in fostering this vital connection with Linfield students.”
In addition to the News-Register, Linfield students have free access to other major publications through the Linfield Libraries. Among these are The Oregonian, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
