The Scholastic News Kids Press Corps is a U.S. news organization for kids. The organization is made up of more than 30 kid reporters from around the world who report on breaking news and current events. The program was founded during the 2000 presidential campaign by Suzanne Freeman. Kid reporters across the U.S. interviewed presidential candidates and covered the election up until the inauguration, bringing news of the campaign trail to readers of Scholastic classroom magazines.
Since then, Scholastic News Kid Reporters have interviewed President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, choreographer Jacques d'Amboise, entertainer Nick Cannon, director Ava DuVernay, presidential hopefuls Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina, authors Walter Isaacson, Robert Beatty, and Sonia Manzano, and physicists Brian Greene and Kip Thorne, among other notable people.
