I was just reminded of CNN Student News. It is a quick way to get up to speed on news, mostly in the USA. it is a ten-minute, commercial-free, daily news program designed for middle and high school classes. CNN 10 is an on-demand digital news show ideal for explanation seekers on the go or in the classroom. .
