- “I learned the five W’s and an H: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? I plan to become a news reporter.” – Zipporah Cruz, Kid Reporter, age 10
Having worked one-on-one with writers and journalists, kid reporters learn how to write news articles and edit them to be ready for publishing in the newspaper and online.
- “My first assignment was to interview Beth, a researcher studying how middle school kids learn. In the Kid Reporter Workshops, I learned how to be a good reporter. My favorite part was getting to choose any topic to write about for my second article–the red wolf!” — Kalani Chen-Hayes, Kid Reporter, age 9
