Hi Russ!! I saw the VMA article and I thought it was cool that Shakira went crowd surfing, it's super funny. But my favorite artist didn't win an award for best visual effects on their music video, and it was their first nomination too!!!
Rey <3
That story told about a lot of amazing artists! I'm sorry that your favorite didn't win an award. But maybe they will next year!

Hey Russ thanks for visiting Texas for "50 States in 50 Weeks." Make sure to try the BBQ! In fact you should do an article on it.
Jimmy
That's a great idea, Jimmy! Maybe we should do a full article about the culture of barbecue. 😋 Thanks for telling me about it!
Russell Kahn
Hi Russ. It’s Hadley again. I was wondering what’s the best article that you think you love most?
Hadley
That is a TOUGH question, Hadley! I love so many News-O-Matic articles. 😊 Today I wrote about new piñata stamps, and I really enjoyed speaking to the artist who drew the designs. So, that was my favorite today!

I also enjoyed that story, Hayes. It is so much fun to learn new (and weird) facts about animals. That's why we do so many animal articles!

Hi Russ the story on 9-11 is and forever will be heartbreaking, but it is a good thing we remember it. Also my mom was born on 9-11.
Nicolas
Well said, Nicolas. The story of 9/11 is painful, but it is a story that we need to continue to tell. Thank you for sharing your reaction. And happy birthday to your mom.

Hi Russ. I am in 3rd grade and I like all your articles. I think you should make some about music. Do you have allergies? I do, and they are very annoying. I am allergic to milk and eggs. Maybe you should make an article about allergies.
Hadley
Thanks for writing, Hadley. I agree that we should do more music stories. Which musicians are your favorite? I am lucky that I don't have allergies. We have written a few articles about them. Type "allergy" in our search to see older stories in our archives!
