Meet the Editor

Vicki Whiting is president, editor and founder of Kid Scoop, a weekly newspaper feature geared to children ages 7 to 12 that appears in more than 300 newspapers with a combined circulation of more than 7.5 million. A former elementary school teacher, she also is a consultant to newspapers on the topic of developing youth readership and educational partnerships.

Our mission is to enable children to become informed about and active participants in their local communities. Kid Scoop promotes this by starting children reading a newspaper at a young age. Each week Kid Scoop offers entertaining and educational content, as well as scavenger hunts and other interactive games that lead young readers to other parts of the newspaper.
