     The New York Times has been partnering with educators since the 1930s. The Times developed a readership program in collaboration with more than 1,200 universities across the country, serving as a resource for more than 2,000 faculty.
     On Sept. 7, 2004, FHSU launched a readership program in conjunction with The New York Times and The Hays Daily News. The readership program is part of the university's American Democracy Project. newspapers are distributed across campus every weekday and are free to students, faculty and staff. Many faculty have begun integrating The New York Times into their curriculum, and the readership program inspired the new Times Talk program, which began in October 2004.
     Times Talk is a weekly luncheon presentation and discussion about current issues and articles featured in The New York Times. Dr. Paul Faber, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, created the program through which FHSU faculty, staff, students and community members lead one-hour discussions about recent Times articles. Not limited solely to domestic and international politics, Times Talk sessions cover business, technology, the arts, science and other topics of interest.
