My Paper
Featuring My Paper — a newspaper made for children
Introducing My Paper
We all agree that reading is a habit that must be cultivated early in life. Skills like critical thinking, curiosity, and awareness are introduced when children begin engaging meaningfully with the world around them through age-appropriate reading material.
Since 2012, My Paper has been dedicated to nurturing this very habit among young readers. Designed especially for children, My Paper presents fair, unbiased, and child-friendly news and informative content curated by experienced professionals. It introduces students to current affairs, inspiring stories, science, environment, culture and other topics in a format that is engaging, yet responsible.
Most importantly, My Paper carries no advertisements, ensuring children are presented with thoughtfully selected, educational content. The newspaper is printed on high-quality paper and features customised illustrations and layouts that make reading both enjoyable and accessible for children.
