Empower Students with Unlimited Local News Access
Why Student Subscriptions Matter
At Forum Communications, we believe that credible local news is more important than ever—helping students stay informed, think critically, and engage with their communities. Our Student Subscription Program provides universities and colleges with affordable access to fact-checked, real journalism, ensuring students have the tools they need to navigate today’s world.
How It Works
Our flexible plan allows universities and colleges to distribute subscriptions to students based on their needs. The school pays a flat fee based on the number of subscriptions, making it cost-effective and easy to manage. Just $2 per student per year.
