Newsround, the world's longest running children's news programme is celebrating its 50th birthday.
"We had to be dealing with serious news, news we thought the children should know about. [But also] news that we thought they wanted to know about. The programme was now so well established with both its audience and with broadcasting executives, that the BBC Newsroom trusted its journalists to be able to handle news of any kind.In the days before rolling news channels or the internet, the first the audience would hear of a huge story was often through a television newsflash.
Over the decades, Newsround may not have broken every big story to the viewing public, but still, at its core was explaining difficult news to its young audience in an appropriate way. "You had to navigate that story like any of these big, challenging upsetting stories for Newsround," she expands. "We had a guest in our studio who was a bereavement specialist and could talk about grief. And how children navigate grief."It thinks hard about the impact on its audience. Not in just a journalistic way. But in an emotional way as well."Presenters in 2012: Leah Gooding, Ore Oduba, Ricky Boleto, Joe Tidy and Hayley Cutts.
