This is a special online newspaper developed for children and for adults whose primary language is not English. It will suit anyone who wants to read news written in a simple, understandable language, focused on the essential facts and avoiding editorial interpretation. Most importantly, we also give you the context or background of the news. That’s what we call the whole news!
The NewDay is an online newspaper like no other. It is written specially for you in an easy-to-read style. We pick stories for you very carefully from the hundreds that we get every day from well-known news agencies. We only publish stories that you can relate to. We make sure that there is no offensive or unwelcome content - that is a promise to you, and to your parents if you are a minor!
At present, we cover World news and Sports news. We will keep adding more categories of news so that you get a wide range of information. We include pictures, videos, audios etc. to make the articles more interesting and informative. In addition, there are several wonderful features to help you! Read on to know more about them...
Simple, easy to read….
There will be very few difficult words in any story. Still, if you want to check the meaning of a word or to know how to say it, simply double-click on the word - we open a dictionary for you! Build your English word-base as you keep yourself informed on what is going on in your world.
Our news stories tell you much more than any printed newspaper or other news site. You can get the context and background concepts from the news stories themselves. Here's how: do you see those tiny icons inside the stories? They are really interesting folks! Just place your mouse pointer on one of them and a little window will pop up. It could be a location map, a reference article or a link to another website. Make sure that you do not miss any of them!
For children, and for everyone!
Who said news is boring? We don’t just ‘dump the information’ on you; we get you to think and interact, hence expanding your horizons! On our site you can post your comments on each news article, read and respond to others’ comments. You can also participate in discussions, opinion polls and quizzes and rate stories. Links to email and popular social networking sites allow you to share articles with friends and relatives.
