''The good news channel'' is the name given to the children's program made by students of the Television I department of the Journalism program at the University of La Serena, in alliance with the National Board of Kindergartens, JUNJI. , and which allowed us to show the work and activities carried out by various gardens in our region.

The channel consisted of informative notes on the activities they carry out to promote various areas of training for boys and girls, such as healthy living, reading, healthy eating, the beneficial use of new technologies, among other topics. The notes were made during the last semester by students of the Television I subject, taught by professor Mg. Carolina Rodríguez, and it was the same students who were in charge of compiling the information, editing and carrying out the audiovisual post-production of the notes.

The teacher of the subject was very happy with the work achieved by the students of her class and in accordance with the objective achieved, which was to introduce the students to audiovisual journalism, but with a comprehensive view. ''Generally we are used to seeing negative facts and events in the news, positive news is the least on our Chilean television. That is why we wanted the students, from the first television course, to be able to make positive news. And that's why we also called it 'The Good News Channel', because we precisely wanted to show the good things that are being done in the different gardens of La Serena and Coquimbo," said the teacher.

For the students, carrying out this activity also meant a great step in their training, as student Natalie Cortés pointed out. ''Making the 'Good News Channel' served me, first of all, as experience and above all to learn how to function in the different environments that journalism has and, most importantly, how to deal with children's issues,'' adding that the training made by the Protection and Good Treatment Unit of the JUNJI, prior to carrying out the work, was very useful to them.

The program, which consists of 8 notes, was shown in the TV studio of the School of Journalism, where JUNJI also awarded the student filmmakers and publicly highlighted the directors of the different gardens that agreed to participate: Los Grillitos Kindergarten , Happy Years, Arboliris, The Little Prince, Colorin Colorado, Megajardín, PinPon and the Pukará Garden.
