The summer may be coming to a close with many students preparing to head back to school, but that has not slowed Kid Reporters in the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps from reporting on the news happening in their communities across the country and around the world.
This past month, Kid Reporters visited the National Chess Tournament in Chicago, the 2019 FINA World Championships in South Korea, and a new exhibit at the London Zoo. They also interviewed Samhita Mukhopadhyay, the executive editor at Teen Vogue about her experience working in media, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about her role in Congress.
