"'That wasn't the point of a kids section-to create a place in the Times to publish children-but [it was a goal to] have kids voices in every issue and story,' says Roper. 'For a story about flooding, we'd interview young people affected by the flood.'"
The New York Times for Kids published its final monthly insert after eight years and nearly 100 issues. The company made $455 million in profit last year, but the Kids insert was closed and its remaining staff reassigned within the company.

The Kids section featured international news, how-tos, style, large illustrations, and a commitment to including young voices in reporting. The closure drew criticism for eliminating a tangible, analogue resource at a time when parents seek unplugged content for children.
