About Us:

Kidz Scoop is a movie review column created by Vicki Creath De Menno and printed in the weekly MarinScope Newspaper reaching 130,000 readers in 8 communities with the 5 papers they distribute. Those are the Twin Cities Times, Mill Valley Herald, Ross Valley Reporter, San Rafael Pointer and Sausalito Scope. Each week we feature a child between the ages of 10 and 17, reviewing a newly released G, PG and PG13 movie in 300-400 words. They sometimes have the opportunity to interview the stars and director of the movie being reviewed, which is also printed in the newspaper. We are a Non-Profit with all proceeds going to Marin County public schools.

Kidz Scoop is a place for "youth voices" in our news media. We want to encourage critical thinking among our children. We provide an avenue where they can express and share their thoughts and opinions with readers of all ages. After all, this vital, honest, smart and powerful demographic group of children are our journalists of tomorrow!
