latest in Coronavirus, or events around the world and the UK, the nation’s children have never needed a news source they can trust and understand more than they do now.</strong></p> <p>No audience is clearer about how they want to consume their news than the UK’s children.  </p> <p>Today is an exciting day for BBC Children’s as we look to preserve Newsround and deliver public service journalism for the next generation. </p> <p>Newsround has a really important job to do. That’s why we welcome Ofcom’s decision to allow us to adapt how we do that job. In short, the headline is a simple one: We will give more kids, more news, in more places.</p> <p>Today’s announcement means we can deliver more news online to the UK’s children, which is where we know they are consuming it. Our Newsround online audience averages 1m users every week. During Lockdown we set a new weekly record of an incredible 1.7m users. The number of children watching the bulletins on CBBC TV channel have been declining for a number of years so we need to shift resources to where the kids are.
