First News is the UK’s only independent weekly newspaper for children

Since launching in 2006, our mission has been to inform, inspire and empower the next generation, building curiosity, critical thinking and media literacy through trusted journalism and news-based resources. Never has that felt more important than it does today.

This assembly pack features our guide to spotting fact, fiction and spin in the news. Join our journalists, Chris and Hannah, as they deliver a series of short videos encouraging young people to think critically about the news and information they see every day.
