Misinformation is rampant and increasingly dangerous. Americans are losing trust in journalism and turning away from legacy media. Local newspapers are closing at an alarming rate, while national news organizations are capitulating to government pressure. There is a great way to address these challenges: School newspapers. Working on a student news publication teaches critical thinking, writing, research, leadership and teamwork — skills valued by colleges and employers.

Picture this: Tomorrow’s graduates walk into workplaces where AI tools are as common as email — diagnosing patient symptoms, analyzing market trends, optimizing supply chains or designing new infrastructure. From healthcare to marketing to engineering, nearly every field is being transformed. Are our schools preparing them for this new reality? And do we have an effective method of assessing such readiness?

While many Americans do not trust national news, they still say they have faith in local news. iStock/Getty Images Plus Many Americans say they have lost trust in national news – but most still believe they can rely on the accuracy of local news. In 2023, trust in national newspapers, TV and radio reached historic lows. Just 32% of Americans said they have a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in these news sources.

Voting with Their Guns: An Integrated Framework of How Police Politically Administer Violence By Hernán Flom , Trinity College Most analyses of the intersection of police, politics, and violence—which center on the police’s use of force as a means to control subordinate classes, repress political dissidents, or confront non-state armed actors—conceptualize the police as an instrument of political incumbents.

HONOLULU — Joshua Alferos was two semesters away from a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering when he ran out of money. Because engineering often takes longer than four years, Alferos had used up his financial aid and the savings his family had put aside for him. He was about to change his major or drop out. Then he heard of a new, experimental program run by philanthropies and private businesses that would loan him what he needed to finish school, at zero interest and with no fees.

Now, you might think that the US figure is inflated by the notorious bloat within the American military-industrial complex. I would be the last person who would wish to minimize that. But the evidence suggests that the bias may be the other way around. American defense dollars likely go further than European euros. Look for instance at the price of modern, third-generation battle tanks and the cost of self-propelled howitzers, which have been key to the fighting in Ukraine.

For decades, the story of Neanderthal migration into Asia has remained patchy—more shadow than shape. Fossil finds in Siberia and genomic data hinted at a major dispersal from Western to Eastern Eurasia sometime between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago. But how Neanderthals got there, what routes they took, and whether their migration was slow or swift have remained open questions.

Treason is a word that has been used too loosely lately. Here is what the Constitution says about it:"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

There was a moment in the mid-2010s when Montessori was inescapable. The century-old education philosophy, which prioritizes independence from a young age, had turned into a lifestyle brand. Blocks and other wooden activity sets were remarketed as “Montessori toys.” Parents flocked toward outdoor learning, which often involved livestock on a farm, sometimes dubbed “Montessori farms.

I understand being concerned about illegal immigration. I definitely understand being concerned about murder, rape, and robbery. What I don’t understand is being more concerned about the former than the latter. Yet that’s exactly how the federal government allocates resources. The federal government spends far more on immigration enforcement than on preventing violent crime, terrorism, tax fraud or indeed all of these combined.

George Orwell's '1984' has some lessons for 2025. NurPhoto/Corbis via Getty Images When people use the term “ Orwellian ,” it’s not a good sign. It usually characterizes an action, an individual or a society that is suppressing freedom, particularly the freedom of expression. It can also describe something perverted by tyrannical power. It’s a term used primarily to describe the present, but whose implications inevitably connect to both the future and the past.
