Although there are more sources of news than ever before, many are heavily biased, unreliable, or more concerned with clicks than being correct. First News is an independently-owned, non-partisan newspaper written especially for children. For more than fifteen years we have been reporting the news to children, listening to their views and campaigning on their behalf. The need for young people to have access to a regular, reliable, age-appropriate source of news is more crucial than ever, which is why thousands of schools around the world trust First News.
