EXTRA! EXTRA! FIRST PAPERS SHIP EARLY 2027

Every street deserves its own  newspaper.

Kids write and deliver a weekly four-page tabloid for their street. We print it, send your child the papers, and handle subscriptions. They run the paper, run the route, and earn the money.

Your kid does

  • The paper.

    Kids pick and write the weekly four-page edition. A parent approves it, and an AI assistant can suggest ideas.

  • The route.

    They claim homes on the map, keep the delivery list, and work the tip inbox and can even sell classifieds.

  • The earnings.

    Subscribers pay $1 per copy and your kid earns it all: their paper, their earnings.

One publisher per street. See if yours is available.
