The Furry New: How to Make a Newspaper
"Reading Rainbow" is a magazine program for children that introduces a wide range of educational topics that teach them about the world, inspire them to read, and give them ideas about what they could be when they grow up. This episode gives kids a behind-the-scenes look at newspapers. Host LeVar Burton shows kids the wide variety of newspapers available and asks kids to talk about their favorite parts of a newspaper.
