“My oldest grandson, now 13 loves this, and snatches it up as soon as it arrives. Strangely I got it for my middle grandson now 11 who wasn't interested at all. Henry started reading it two years ago, maybe three. I keep asking if he still wants it, because it is quite an expense, but he loves it.
I do wonder why this newsletter comes to me, because I live in Spain, so wouldn't often have the option to discuss with Henry. I think you should ask who is to get the newsletter, in our case it would be better if my daughter got it.”
Thank you for your review. We’re so happy to hear that your grandson loves First News. The newsletter is sent to the bill payer normally but if you wouldn't mind, send us an email on info@firstnews.co.uk and we can look at options for how your receive this email.
“Pitched at a good level for both my children (age 11 and 9). Interesting articles. Includes news about well known company children can relate to. My daughter thinks it is very well laid out and clear to understand.
Fairly one sided coverage (pro-Palestine/anti-Israel) of the recent conflict disappointing.
Reasonable value for money.”
Thank you for your review, we're so glad that your daughter is enjoying First News.
We take your comments on board and, to that end, we have built a platform which includes all our coverage chronologically – both written and video – since the deadly attack by Hamas on Israel on 7 October, as well as a two page explainer of the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. We do recognise that, as we update on the latest developments, such as the humanitarian crisis for people living in Gaza, that coverage should be seen in the context of prior events which we reported in earlier editions of First News. Our intention is that this platform provides a comprehensive and balanced picture of the complex and historical background to the issues in the region, alongside developments as they are unfolding right now. You can view all of our coverage here https://www.firstnews.co.uk/israelgaza
Thanks once again for your feedback.
“I purchased this for my ten year old granddaughter. She loves reading the articles and discussing them with her parents. I have just renewed the subscription.”
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're so glad to hear your granddaughter is loving her First News subscription. We hope she will continue to engage in discussions and ask though-provoking questions.
Thank you for your continued support!
