littlebug42 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I was interested in adding a current events type component to our school but I would like to find a good kid-friendly website where my kids could get specifically world news but without too much sensationalism. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khall Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We watch CNN student news everyday as part of our school day. The downside is that it does follow a typical public school calendar, so it doesn't air during vacations...like this week! http://Www.CNN.com/student news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeidiKC Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 http://www.channelone.com/ We really like this. Your kids might be a bit young - it is targeted at middle-school and high school, but I haven't seen anything offensive or anything on it. One time I remember one of the topics made me wonder if my son was going to ask me about it (I can't remember what it was!), but other than that one time I think it's been perfect for him. They definitely target the young audience and make it flashy, etc. My 11-year-old loves it. And I think on Monday they have "play of the week" (sports), which he looks forward to. Here is the link about it on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_One_News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A home for their hearts Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I don't know if something like Boomerang would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlebug42 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. My oldest daughter loves to watch news etc but there is just too much sensationalism/exploitation on our local news and I don't really like her watching it.
