Thanks to Brooklyn Technical HS's The Survey for spotlighting #studentjournalism! And for quoting me: “If anybody’s going to learn how to get the engagement up and get young people to care about news, it’s going to have to be young people themselves." surveybths.com/3965/opinion...

Not the main point, but can we just say that this is a very odd email exchange for a reporter (Michael Wolff) to conduct with a source (Jeffrey Epstein)? Esp a source who, 7 years pvs, had pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution w/ a minor, and who'd been sued by a victim just 3 months earlier.

This is how to build back journalism: invest in teens. They're the pipeline of talent and the audience the industry needs to survive. We just need to provide them with more opportunities. All schools should have student-led news publications.

Remember, Trump thinks it's more important that Elon Musk is able to fly than that you can visit your family for Thanksgiving.

And yet there's hope: when we help schools create student news publications, students learn what goes into journalism and which sources to trust. Support #studentjournalism

There are now cement trucks entering the White House construction site, which is not what you'd expect for a project that hasn't been reviewed by anyone yet. The White House has previously said no NCPC approvals are needed yet because they're just doing demo, not construction.

When we wrote our book on children of immigrants in NY we said they would inherit the city. Tonight one of them did! m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1U...

Whatever you think of the winner, NYC voters overwhelmingly chose a younger, different approach to politics. They rejected Cuomo. They rejected negative campaigning. They’re desperate for solutions to bread & butter issues. Trump & Cuomo might as well be dinosaurs.

Trump seems very happy with Bari Weiss www.thecut.com/article/trum...

Is this election interference? Trump just declared that if Mamdani wins: “it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds” to New York City, “other than the very minimum as required.” According to the NYT
