Hi, Oliver! Taylor Swift has popped up in quite a few of our articles! Did you know she's related to the famous poet Emily Dickinson? You can read more about that and other Swiftie stories by typing "Taylor Swift" into the Search! 🎤

I actually prefer it the other way around, Anthony! I pour my cereal first. Then, I add a bit of milk to get the cereal a little soggy. However, it's okay to have your own unique way of doing things — even eating breakfast! 🥣

I'm glad you enjoyed that article about Selena Gomez's experience as an actress and business leader! And thanks for sharing with me what you're interested in. I love hearing from readers like you!

The Earth's atmosphere stretches for 6,214 miles (10,000 kilometers)! I hope you have a good day too, Annabelle. 😁

Writing for News-O-Matic is a great job, Chloe! I get to talk with fascinating people and share important stories with readers like you. And the best part is that I am always learning every single day! 😊

Hey, Evan! Voting for the U.S. election happens on November 5 this year. If you read our article "Voting Begins for 2024 Election" you know that some people vote early or vote by mail. But people cannot vote after November 5.

Hi, Oliver! You can read ALL our articles in Spanish! Just tap the "Language" button in each article to select Spanish. Each story is read aloud by a native Spanish speaker too. A teacher can help you switch to the full Spanish version of the News-O-Matic as well. ¡Adiós!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Evelyn! I think the new emojis are really fun. Which one is your favorite?

Hey there, Asher! It's great to hear you're having a blast in third grade! The new emojis haven't been released just yet, but they'll be on devices soon! You should see them by the end of 2024 or early 2025. You can read more about the emojis in our article "Eight New Emojis!"

Nope! Everyone here at News-O-Matic is a real person, including me! ☺️

Write the author with the last name first, then the first name. Then, write the name of the article in quotation marks. Next you should write where you found the article — that's News-O-Matic! Last, you need to write the date that the article was written. This is how an article would be cited: Richard, Diana. "Money Scams on the Rise." News-O-Matic, 13 Sept. 2024. You may need to include the web address and the day you read the article too. Check with a teacher for more info!

That's a good question, Crew! We share new articles almost every single weekday all year long. Sometimes we do skip editions on special holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas. We might take a break since most of our readers aren't in school reading News-O-Matic.

Hi, Eleanor. I love your idea! News-O-Matic does have interviews with musicians and poets! Read the article "Poetry Is for Everybody" to hear from Puerto Rican poet Ricardo Alberto Maldonado. We have also interviewed poets Joy Harjo and Ada Limón! Explore the stories about cello player Caryl Paisner and conductor John Mauceri to learn more about the music business too! 🎵

Hi, Lennox. I love that you're learning from News-O-Matic too! Did you read our recent article, "A Night of Music and 'Moon Men?" There is a video in that story of Taylor Swift at a recent music award show!

Hi, Ella. It's great that you want to stop pollution! Stopping pollution is a big task. But there are ways you can help! Make sure to never littler. You can also pick up trash you find outside. Be responsible with your garbage too. Find out if there is recycling where you live. Then you can recycle items like plastic, tin, and glass. ♻️

I'm so glad that you think News-O-Matic can help people learn English! There isn't a full version of News-O-Matic in Chinese yet, but I like your idea! You can read each article in Mandarin, though. Tap the "Language" button and pick Mandarin to see the text in Mandarin. Then you can listen to it in that language too!

Hi, Kalliope! I worked with Marc-Henri Magdelenat from France and Lillian Holtzclaw Stern from Brazil. Together, we created News-O-Matic!

Hi, Layne! I'll keep an eye out for your drawing. I get so many drawings every day, so I can't share all of them! But, I'll give you a tip. The drawings that connect with the most recent articles in News-O-Matic are the most likely to show up in the News Room!

I really appreciated your message, Jamieryae. I work really hard together with my whole team to bring News-O-Matic to readers like you. Thank you for sending such a kind message. 😁

Hey, Isabella! We've got big events coming soon! We have lots of articles about the U.S. election and government planned. We'll also be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with plenty for you to read!
