Newsround

When growing up, I didn't really watch many adult news programmes, because it was sometimes hard to understand what was being talked about. I always used to watch one news programme however, Newsround. Newsround is a long running news programme, aimed completely at children. It explains all of the main news stories in a way that children can easily understand. When I first watched Newsround, it was presented by John Craven. He was a master at presenting this programme in my opinion, coming across as a very friendly person that could be trusted. Not all of the news stories were what you would usually see in the adult news. Some were ...  Read the complete review

Newsround is a news programme with a difference in that it is for kids. It has been running for many years now, and used to be presented by John Craven. In fact, it used to be entitled John Craven's Newsround, before he left the programme, and now presents Countryfile instead. Newsround differs in that it tells news stories with a little less doom and gloom than the regular news snippets can give us, and also in a shorter more concise way that holds children's attention a little better. It is a good way of getting the news to the kids without them having to sit through an entire news programme and get bored by the length and the content. Newsround ...  Read the complete review

Though this is ment to be a childrens programme, I find it more interesting and easier to understand than the adults news shows like 'the ten o'clock news' etc. as they look at it through a childs eyes and explain so someone younger can understand. The show still includes all the main important headlines and sports news and then sometimes some extras that are specifically for children like news on a new Harry Potter book or something which is also interesting to watch. Newsround is on every week day at around 5:25 i think (before neighbours) and lasts about 10-20 minuits maximum. It is presented brightly with a friendly with a happy ...  Read the complete review

Newsround is just excellent directed at kids it’s the only news bulletin the kids want to watch. I can remember as a child my Dad used to watch the news quite a lot, and it was so boring. The only news that was something worth shouting about was Newsround, which then used to come on at 5.00pm. Just before Blue Peters the presenters were good and the content interesting. After watching it again some years later I still can see the appeal, it may have changed it’s time to 5.25pm but I know for sure my cousins love it. And if you just want a quick round up of news then it can even be appealing for adults. The good thing about Newsround as far as ...  Read the complete review
