DOGO Media is a next-generation online network empowering kids to engage with digital media in a fun, safe and social environment. "DOGO" means young or small in Swahili. While our young fans may be small, they act BIG as they engage with our websites and express their opinions on the content that interests and inspires them. DOGOnews was created in '09 by a young mother in the SF Bay Area who couldn't find a reliable and safe source for her grammar school children to use for current events assignments. The word spread…first a couple of classmates read it, then teachers at the school found out about it, and now thousands of students and teachers from around the world are using the DOGO websites in-and-out of the classroom on a daily basis. What started as a small project has quickly grown to a community of kids and educators engaging positively on the current events, books, movies … (and lots more to come) that excite them!
