ttn (the total news) was a 30 minute weekly Australian news program aimed at school-aged (9- to 14-year-old) children produced and broadcast by Network Ten from 2004 to 2008. It presented current issues and events in a way that could be understood and further explored by its intended viewers.

ttn premiered on 3 February 2004. It was created in the wake of an outcry against the cancellation of Behind the News,[1] a long running ABC TV program similar in objective to ttn that was axed for a time due to budget cuts.[2] ttn itself was axed in December 2008 after five years on air following budgetary constraints.[3]

ttn aired every Tuesday each week during the school year. Episodes were supplemented by features and activities printed weekly in News Limited newspapers.
