Posted on: 12/04/2010 Children Region: WorldwideMore and more people around the world are consuming news. However, in many countries, a large percentage of the population is left out of the market: children.
A newspaper for youth called Mi Super Diario is changing that reality in Bolivia and Mexico, according to a recent article in Editor & Publisher magazine. In Mexico City alone, Mi Super Diario distributes 1.15 million copies every two weeks to local grammar schools.
"Children just as much as adults need a newspaper that explains the current news, informs them about their world and how to understand it -- all in perfect Spanish," says Carlos Echeverry, founder of Mi Super Diario.
Do children in your region consume news? How do you think journalists in your region can better involve youth in the media landscape? Which issues should be covered in youth media, and which should be left out?
