Today, we are beyond excited to announce the 2014-2015 members of the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps!
More than 200 aspiring young journalists ages 10-14 sent in applications to join the award-winning Scholastic News Kids Press Corps, the country’s oldest and largest student reporting program. Thirty-two kids from 20 states in the U.S. and international students in Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Thailand were selected by the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps editors as Kid Reporters. This year, they will report “news for kids, by kids” with coverage of current events, breaking news, entertainment stories, and sports events from their hometowns and on the national stage.
The Scholastic News Kids Press Corps has delivered news for more than 14 years. Past Kid Reporters have interviewed an impressive roster of celebrities and notable public figures including President of the United States Barack Obama, director Steven Spielberg, author Jeff Kinney and author Dav Pilkey. We can’t wait to see who this year’s Press Corps will interview and what exciting stories they will uncover!
All Kid Reporter stories will appear online and in Scholastic classroom magazines, like Scholastic News and Junior Scholastic. You should definitely keep an eye out for these rising stars in journalism!
