Kea Kids News
KEA Kids News is made by kids for kids. It's a new way to get young people interested in current affairs and the world around them.
KEA Kids News builds a strong community of curious kids by breaking stories never before seen from an empowered kid's perspective. The mission is to help young people know and understand our complicated world.
We cross-cultural and ethnic boundaries to inform and engage children in current affairs. We do this by telling stories that empower and shed new light on themes in the media not traditionally accessed by this demographic. We seek out and even break new stories that get the attention of all news agencies. We show by doing that kids can affect the world and a change can be generated no matter how young you are.
132 'Rookie Reporters' demonstrate that anyone can investigate, ask questions and present the news. The kids themselves help to create entertaining audiovisual animations using cardboard and their own artwork to explain complicated aspects of each story.
