On 8 November 2016, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. During his campaign, Trump put on display long held sexist, racist, and bigoted views on women; people of color; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex peoples, and Others. Media coverage in the U.S. and around the world was not limited to news cycles intended for adult audiences only. Scholastic News Kids Press Corps, a free online publication for and ‘by kids’ ages 10 to 14, joined the conversation in 2015. This article shares analysis of Scholastic News Kids Press Corps’ coverage of Trump’s campaign, theorized through a critical, women of color feminist lens. Major themes that emerged include teaching children how to be unbiased reporters; the importance of being part of the political process and voting; social and policy issues; and Trump’s disposition/sexism. While news content broached issues from varying perspectives, it often stopped short of providing critical reflections and historical context of the issues being reported. Possibilities are discussed for expanding how news media for and by children can be conceptualized, in addition to how educators can engage in critical media literacy with children across multiple age groups, including the early years.

儿童媒体作为“公正”新闻的渠道：对特朗普总统竞选报道的批判性反思

On 8 November 2016, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. 在竞选期间，特朗普展示了长期以来对女性的性别歧视、种族主义和偏执观点；有色人种；女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、质疑/酷儿、双性人和其他人。美国和世界各地的媒体报道不仅限于仅面向成人受众的新闻周期。Scholastic News Kids Press Corps 是面向 10 至 14 岁儿童的免费在线出版物，于 2015 年加入了对话。本文分享了对 Scholastic News Kids Press Corps 对特朗普竞选活动报道的分析，通过批判性的女性彩色女权主义镜头。出现的主要主题包括教孩子们如何成为公正的记者；参与政治进程和投票的重要性；社会和政策问题；和特朗普的性格/性别歧视。虽然新闻内容从不同的角度提出问题，但往往没有提供所报道问题的批判性反思和历史背景。除了教育工作者如何与包括早年在内的多个年龄段的儿童进行批判性媒体素养之外，还讨论了扩大儿童新闻媒体如何概念化的可能性。
