Abstract This essay analyzes the challenge and importance of integrating kids and teens into the news audience, and the dilemma of achieving it through regular content or by making a transition to “adult news” from specific projects. On one stand, there is the duty that news media outlets have to recognize them as part of their digital editions’ audience and producing attractive pieces according to their profile. On the other, there is the parents and educators’ task to encourage from an early age a responsible consumption of news as part of their development as active citizens.
