What happens

Behind the News (more commonly known as BTN) is an Australian children's news program televised by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Described as an 'educational news program aimed at 10–13 year old kids', BTN is commonly used by schools in Australia as an education tool to help children catch up with current affairs and issues. BTN currently has three shows. Classroom is the flagship weekly show that investigates various news topics for 10–13 year olds. Newsbreak is a daily news show to help Australians kids stay informed on current affairs within 5 minutes. High is exclusive to digital platforms and goes more in-depth into topics that are more appropriate for high school students. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
