A smarter daily news habit.
Every episode is designed to give young viewers enough context to understand the story, not just remember the headline.
Start with the signal
A quick opening tells you what is worth paying attention to today.
Explain the story

Keep asking why
Sources, vocabulary, and follow-up questions turn a news video into a learning moment.
Current events, across the questions that matter.
Every Pulse episode brings together a changing mix of ten current-news stories, plus a Today in History segment. These are coverage areas rather than fixed daily quotas: the editorial weighting and order change with the day’s news.

News for kids, with the work shown.
Pulse makes current events for kids easier to understand without hiding where the information comes from or how we check it.
We start with reporting
We crawl a curated set of established news, science, nature, culture, and institutional sources. Each episode links back to the reporting behind its stories.
We select for usefulness
A changing daily mix is chosen for freshness, source quality, topic variety, public importance, and whether the story can be explained clearly to young viewers.
We check before publishing
We fetch the article body, ground the script in that source, run claim and structure checks, and review the result. Weakly supported stories are revised or held.
Our standard: A generated script is never treated as its own evidence. Episode pages show the date, transcript, and source links so students, families, and teachers can follow the trail. Read our editorial standards →
