Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) has acquired digital content provider Channel One News.

Founded in 1989, Channel One produces "daily news programs that are broadcast to nearly 5 million upper elementary, middle and high school students across the United States via satellite and online at channelone.com," according to a news release.

The company's non-fiction videos and supplemental resources are aligned to the Common Core and designed to encourage critical thinking and discussions of current events.

"Channel One News is a long-time K-12 industry player that shares our commitment to high quality digital content and the importance of curiosity in learning," said Linda Zecher, president and CEO of HMH, in a prepared statement. "By coming together, we continue to innovate around modes of content delivery that educate and engage today's students in new and meaningful ways."
