Tass, the Russian state news agency, is working on an information channel dedicated to children aged between 8 and 14 and will be an attempt to “relaunch the media for the children of the past. This project - explained the Deputy Minister of Communications Alexei Volin - was created in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and will give adolescents an account of global developments ”. All to "immunize" them from bad information - or fake news, to use a fashionable term. Tass has announced that starting from 2018 it will create an "information bulletin" for schools and in this regard, taking advantage of specific government funding, it has created an editorial office for children. According to the agency's spokesperson, Tass will collect the most important news from Russia and abroad that could be of interest to children and will treat them in a way that the little ones can easily understand. “It is absolutely clear that, on the one hand, children between the ages of 8 and 14 have a completely different perception of information and, on the other, they do not have access to it,” explained Volin. “It means - he concluded - that they live in their own world and, as they grow up, they disconnect from the information sphere: this is therefore an attempt to immunize them with the right information.
