The front of a rusty old Fiat, a discarded couch that was lying on the roadside, an old fishing net, tin cans, tyres and wooden planks have found a new lease of life in a one-of-a-kind newsroom run by children for children. Called the Children's Scrappy News Service, the 13-episode news show, which will officially launch on November 14 on YouTube, also hopes to promote upcycling by incorporating recycled goods to create a functional newsroom. The show, which is the brainchild of Lisa Heydlauff, founder of NGO Going To School, will also be aired on national television, from December onwards.
