Newspaper targets elementary school children in South Africa

A newspaper designed especially for primary school children, delivered by e–mail to about 300 primary schools across South Africa, is gaining new subscribers, including parents who want to get the newspaper at home for their children. Duncan Guy’s paper, The Times I Am Living In, has its origins in a newspaper he designed for his son in February 2005. It contains Guy’s simplified version of local and international stories by the South African Press Association, a glossary, and a section called Today in History, which provides interesting historical details and famous figures’ birthdays. Read about it at allAfrica.com.
