In a possible sign that journalism is losing some of its allure with students, the University of New Hampshire is cutting its English/journalism major. The school will still provide journalism education, but will no longer offer it as a major, the Boston Globe reported.

But when put to voters at the polls in November 2023, candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty performed poorly in school board elections, and in states like Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the majority of candidates running on a Moms for Liberty platform lost.

C WASHINGTON, March 25 (Reuters) - Our species emerged in Africa more than 300,000 years ago, with a migration out of the continent 60,000 to 70,000 years ago heralding the start of the global spread of Homo sapiens. But where did these pioneers go after leaving Africa? After years of debate, a new study offers an answer. These bands of hunter-gatherers appear to have lingered for thousands of years as a homogeneous population in a geographic hub that spanned Iran, southeast Iraq and northeast Saudi Arabia before going on to settle all of Asia and Europe starting roughly 45,000 years ago, scientists said on Monday. lick here to edit the content
Last week, a newly appointed conservative library board fired Prattville’s library director because he had fulfilled an open records request from the media. This is the same library board that recently made sweeping changes to the library’s policies. Sixteen is the age of consent to have sex in Alabama but trying to checkout a book on sex before the age of 17 might prove difficult in Prattville. New policies ban certain books for minors under 17 if they determine a book contains “obscenity, sexual conduct, sexual intercourse, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender discordance. In other words, just about everything you might see on any network television series.

Meta is shutting down CrowdTangle, a data insights tool often used by academics, researchers and journalists to track conspiracy theories and viral content on Facebook and Instagram. CrowdTangle CEO Brandon Silverman criticized Meta's decision on Thursday, writing in a blog post that shutting down the tool so close to the U.S. Presidential election was "incredibly irresponsible," adding that he hopes the tool's legacy will "inspire a permanent set of regulations that make real-time access to public data a legal requirement and an ongoing part of how we manage the internet responsibly & collaboratively.

Last fall, it seemed like Moms for Liberty, the infamous political group behind the recent push for book bans in schools across the country, might be on the wane, after a series of losses at school board and local district elections in November. But shortly afterward, Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice claimed in an interview, "we're just getting started," boasting about the group's plans to ramp up efforts this year. Jennifer Berkshire, lecturer at Yale University’s Education Studies Department, and author of the forthcoming book "The Education Wars: A Citizens’ Guide and Defense Manual," is wary of writing the group off. She argues that perhaps their progress, or lack thereof, in the polls isn't a good indicator of their success. Brooke speaks with Berkshire about the larger project behind Moms for Liberty to ultimately sow distrust in the public school system that extends far beyond the controversial book banning campaigns the Moms have now become famous for.
The House has voted to pass a bipartisan bill that could lead to a nationwide ban of TikTok. Congress has cited concerns that the China-owned app is sharing American users' data with the Chinese government, and that TikTok is spreading propaganda. Tech journalist Julia Angwin, founder of the new nonprofit outlet Proof News, isn't so convinced by those arguments. This week, Julia tells Micah Loewinger about how TikTok's practices compare to other platforms; what a ban or forced sale of the app would (or would not) accomplish; and why the U.S. needs better regulations for all social media companies.
