This page is not NPOV. The criticisms section is anecdotal and uses emotive language. 163.1.42.251 08:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I've amended the section you mentioned. I think it's ok now Damson88 21:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Press Pack

There is no mention in this page of the Press Pack - I believe this warrants a mention? It is the club which viewers can join. By submitting journalistic articles, they can win the chance to present reports on Newsround itself.

[edit] Denied by the BBC's DG

Newsround altered their 9/11 text after the fuss about alleged anti-US bias. Is there a reference for the DG's denial of bias? Damson88 (talk) 12:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Newsround's 'birthday'

On BBC1 today, the last Newsround story began "And finally our 35th birthday ..." before a recap of the last 35 years. However the 'birth date' given on Wikipedia (and IMDB) is 4 April 1972. So there seems to be a discrepancy in the date. Damson88 18:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Newsround's website confirms 4 April 1972 as the correct date:
