Jeugdjournaal (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjøxtʃuːrnaːɫ]) ("youth news") is a Dutch television news programme produced by the Dutch public service broadcaster NOS for children. The programme has been broadcast since 1981.

A main evening programme airs at 6:45 pm, running for 15 minutes every night on Nederland 3. A 5-minute update also airs on weekdays at 4:25 pm. The short afternoon updates and a weekly compilation programme are broadcast on the international Dutch-language television station, BVN.

Aim

The aim of Jeugdjournaal is to present news that is both of interest and understanding to young viewers, without shying away from the main national and international news headlines. The broadcasts are viewed extensively by older viewers; about one-sixth of the programme's viewership are adults.

Worldwide involvement

Jeugdjournaal is involved in setting up similar shows in several countries where neutral news broadcasts are scarce. The Dutch foundation Freevoice, under the name Kids News Network (KNN) has setup news shows in Indonesia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Netherlands Antilles and Aruba, Peru, South Africa, Suriname and Zambia, with an estimated total of 20 million viewers per week.[1]
