Nick US’ news segment talks to kids suffering from Aids
MUMBAI: On the occasion of World Aids Day on 1 December, Nickelodeon in the US will talk to HIV positive kids in a news segment.
In Living With Aids: A Story of Three Kids, journalist Linda Ellerbee follows three kids living with Aids — Holly, Jordyn, and Ricky — and listens as they tell the stories of their lives.
Ellerbee clarified, “This is not a show about Aids. This is a show about three American kids who are living with Aids. They all have the strength of character and resilience that’s hard to find, even in adults. These kids are not one but three good reasons to educate yourself about Aids.”
More than 14,000 kids in the US are victims of the HIV virus. Over 90 per cent of the kids infected were born with the disease.
Nick News has been running for 13 years. It claims to be the longest-running kids’ news show in television history.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
