The public's trust in the media is at an all time low. Perhaps it's time to simply hand over the newspapers, cameras and microphones to our children, to get their take on the news.
This is the premise for a show called News News News that two British theatre-makers are creating with children from Mount Maunganui Primary for the Tauranga Festival.
It'll be filmed in front of a live audience and broadcast online.
Andy Field and Beckie Darlington have created similar shows overseas - so Lynn Freeman was curious to find out if Kiwi kids were bringing a new perspective to the studio. She spoke to three of the budding journalists - Indigo, Arlie and Laurie - and to Andy Field.
News News News by Andy Field and Beckie Darlington - with Rosabel Tan & students from Mount Maunganui Primary - plays at the Addison Theatre in Tauranga on Saturday October 15.
