Regarding your “NewsStand Signs Deal with Houston Chronicle,” there is a problem with some of the facts.
You wrote “Working with NewsStand they can not deploy an eEdition that can be integrated with other technology available in the classroom.”
This is incorrect.
The new format allows schools to, not only continue to receive the benefits of newspaper content for educational purposes, but integrate it into the technology available in the classroom—a key objective for Texas educators,” said Ed Vaughn, Chronicle in Education manager, Houston Chronicle.
[The word "not" was erroneous, and that's been corrected. Apologies! -- Editor]
