This summer connect your students to our community and the world with the electronic edition of The Sacramento Bee. Young readers see the newspaper as a dependable and complete source of information. The e-Edition of The Bee is delivered at a time, place and in a format that is attractive to them. Your students can log on and read The Bee from any computer, whether at school or at home.
The e-Edition has the same news, sports, features, business and entertainment as the print edition. There is even a new educational section inserted in the e-Edition every week on topics important to your students. The e-Edition has exciting features that make using the newspaper easier. Your students can do quick searches, access a 30-day archive, save their favorite articles and even email them to friends.
There are also lessons, teacher guides and educational resources available at our new Media in Education web site to help you plan your lessons while using the e-Edition. There are teacher guides in all subject areas and for all grade levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the e-Edition and the printed edition of The Sacramento Bee?
- A: The electronic edition, also called the "e-Edition," is an exact replica of the print edition, except in an easy to read digital format. The e-Edition is laid out just like the print edition of the paper, including all of the news, photographs and illustrations.
Q: How do I access the e-Edition?
- A: Getting to the e-Edition is easy if you follow these three steps ... (1) Go to the login page at www.sacbee.com/mielogin, (2) Select your school and enter your password (which is found on the teacher verification letter you received in the mail); and (3) Click submit and enjoy the newspaper.
Q: Can I read the e-Edition from any computer, or just computers at school?
- A: In case you want to give your students a homework assignment that requires a newspaper, it is okay for your students to login from their home computers. Have them follow the same instructions in the previous answer.
Q: Does it matter whether I have broadband or a dial up Internet connection?
- A: No. However a dial up connection through a modem has a much slower connection speed and is not optimal for viewing the e-Edition. We recommend using a broadband connection for the best connectivity and enjoyment for your subscription.
Q: Are the advertising inserts available in the e-Edition?
- A: Most advertising inserts are included in the e-Edition. ROP advertising (ads that appear next to news stories) are also in the e-Edition. Inserts like Parade magazine and the comics are also included in the e-Edition.
Q: What are my options when viewing a story?
- A: You can view an e-Edition story two ways. "Newspaper View" displays the story just as it appears in the newspaper, with columns and photos in place. "Quick View" is a plain text view of the story and photos. You can e-mail or print the story in either mode.
Q: Can articles, photos, and features such as crossword puzzles and comics be printed out?
- A: Yes, simply click on the item you want to print, and select the printer icon of the toolbar.
Q: Do I need special software when viewing the e-Edition?
- A: Special software is not needed. The special software you need is automatically installed every time you login.
Q: What are the system requirements to view the e-Edition?
- A: You can read the e-Edition on most web browsers running on a Macintosh or a Windows-based PC. You need to have at least version 9 of Adobe Flash Player installed. For best results on a Windows computer, Internet Explorer 6 or higher, or Firefox 2 or higher are recommended. On a Macintosh computer, Safari 3 or higher, or Firefox 2 or higher are recommended. A high-speed Internet connection is also recommended. Some versions of the AOL browser will not display the e-Edition.
Q: I can't see the whole page on my screen. What do I do?
- A: If you cannot view the entire width of the page, find a scroll bar along the bottom edge of your web page. You can scroll right or left to view more of the page. You also will be able to navigate up and down using the scroll bar on the right edge.
Q: My login doesn't work. Who can I call?
- A: First, be sure you are logging in to the M.I.E. login page found at www.sacbee.com/mielogin. Select your school and enter the password found in your verification letter. If this doesn't work, please call (916) 321-1785 for more help.
