About us
The Little Headlines brings young people aged 8 to 14 the news from around the world, from newsrooms you can trust.
Why we exist
Most news is written for adults, and a lot of it can be frightening. Young people still deserve to know what's happening in the world. So we bring them the stories about discoveries, space, animals, the planet, technology, sport, culture and people, and leave out the rest.
Our promise
- No scary news, ever. Every story passes our safety check before it appears, and a real person can remove anything that slips through.
- Only trusted newsrooms. We only use established news organisations with professional journalists and editors who correct their mistakes. Nothing from social media, gossip sites or anonymous websites. That's how we keep fake news out.
- Always the original source. Every story shows who reported it, with a link to the full article.
- No accounts for kids. Children can use everything without signing up or telling us anything about themselves.
- No adverts that follow you. We never track children around the internet or sell anyone's information.
How it works
- New stories arrive every hour from our list of trusted newsrooms.
- Each story is checked for upsetting topics before it can appear.
- Our editors add a "why it matters" note and a question to talk about.
