About us
Welcome to TweenTribune.com, a daily news site for tweens. Each day we post links to the day's most compelling news from a tween's perspective. Stories chosen for TweenTribune are selected by tweens working closely with professional journalists. Tweens can submit links to stories they'd like to share, submit their own stories and photos, and comment on the stories they read.
Alan Jacobson is TweenTribune's managing editor. He's the father of two tweens and the president of BrassTacksDesign, which has provided editorial, advertising and technical support to newspapers from New England to New Zealand for almost 20 years.
Unlike other news sites for kids, TweenTribune is easy to use, updated daily and allows tweens to participate in so many ways. But most importantly, it encourages tweens to seek out news on a daily basis. Our democracy depends upon a well-informed public, so it's important to foster a daily news-reading habit at an early age. TweenTribune does that by enticing tweens with a few offbeat stories they wouldn't find elsewhere. Only TweenTribune promotes the daily habit because its the only news site for tweens that is updated daily.
So check it out and share it with your friends and your children. If you have any other questions, click here to contact us.

News website pins its hopes on tweens By James Rainey of the Los Angeles Times
President Obama’s plans for health care – not a huge concern for most kids. But what Sasha and Malia are up to is a different story. TweenTribune.com is the online hotspot for all the news your tween can use, including the latest on the First Kids and their parents. Now you and your kids can discuss current events with – get this – enthusiasm. – Nina Elias, Family Circle, December 2009
