NowThis, a news brand for Millennials, recently launched a new weekly series, NowThis Kids, who will be hosted by 13-year-old activist, Naomi Wadler.
Naomi Wadler was first interviewed in 2018 by NowThis after she held a gun violence walk-out focusing on Black women at her school. After the trending video was seen by George Clooney, Wadler was invited to speak at March For Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C.
The Cheerios-sponsored series, will share positive and uplifting news and promote optimism. Each episode will provide the tools necessary for parents to talk with their children about the complex stories that matter today. Along with the YouTube channel, NowThis Kids will have a podcast and a newsletter, too.
The series launched at a time when schools are contemplating opening and parents are debating whether or not they should send their kids back to school this fall. If kids aren’t attending in-person classes, they now have Naomi Wadler and NowThis Kids, to occupy them!
