I'm looking for a particular story but it's not on the front page.

Have you tried using the search box? It's at the top of every page. This gives you access to our entire archive of stories dating back to 2001.

Can I use your pictures on my website?

Sorry, no. Due to copyright reasons you cannot take pictures from this website for publication elsewhere without prior permission.

Why can I still see pages from your old site?

The Newsround site first relaunched in November 2004, and more recently in June 2011, with a brand new look. However, there are still thousands of pages in our archive in the old looks. It simply isn't possible to convert all of the old pages, but we will continue to convert parts of the site, such as the Guides, which get lots of visitors.

How do I become a journalist?

Our presenters give their top tips for getting into journalism in the Team section.

Can I do work experience with Newsround?

Unfortunately Newsround does not offer any general work experience placements. Due to child protection and health and safety laws you have to be over 18 to apply to do work experience in CBBC. However, if you are over 18, the BBC does offer a range of work experience opportunities, including some in News and CBBC.

How can I be Press Packer on Newsround?

The main way that young people get to present a story on Newsround is by sending in a story idea. Then, if we think it's suitable we might contact you to present a Press Pack report for us.

We read every single idea that people send in, and while there is no guarantee your idea will be chosen, if it's a good idea then you have a good chance.

So if you've just got a really good idea that you want to share with the Newsround team, fill in the form on this page and select the 'Story ideas' option

I need advice on a personal issue

Newsround cannot help you directly with personal issues, but if you are feeling unhappy then we do know people who can help. If you need any help or advice then we suggest you contact a support group like ChildLine. They have a free and confidential telephone number and you can contact them at anytime to talk about anything that is worrying you.

ChildLine's telephone number is 0800 11 11

If you're being bullied by other people then you can also find more information about bullying and get advice from people who have been bullied in the past on the Newsrond website. Have a look at our special section by clicking on the following link: What is bullying?

What age group is Newsround aimed at?

Newsround has a target audience of 6 to 12-year-olds. As a team we carefully consider the language and subject matter to make things suitable for children.

We try to pick stories that will appeal to our viewers and to bring a child's view into the report, and also indicate quickly on what level children are reacting with what is happening. Our team consists of a mix of child experts, journalists and teachers.

Why hasn't my comment been used on the site/read out on the show?

Every day at Newsround we get literally hundreds, and sometimes, thousands of emails. When we read out comments on the TV show, we only ever choose a few out of hundreds. So while we look at every comment, and many, many more are published on the website, we can only read out a tiny amount of the ones that are sent in, and cannot publish every single one we receive on the website. But do keep sending your comments as one day yours could be picked.

I sent a picture in to the Newsround website and it hasn't been used anywhere, why not?

We are sorry that you've sent pictures into the Newsround site and they have not been chosen to appear on our galleries. We do get lots of pictures emailed in from children and unfortunately we can't always publish every picture we receive. But please keep sending your pictures and one of them will be used at some point.
