Glenda Morgan does not sound that impressed with Google’s latest promises about AI and education. [T]hus far I am unconvinced that the kinds of tutoring currently offered via AI matches the concept of watching a student’s thought processes and identifying the core issues they aren’t understanding.

When scholars of journalism study the effects of the shrinking press corps, they usually focus on how it hurts civil society. Vast swaths of the country are at risk of becoming “news deserts,” with limited access to reliable local journalism. This state of affairs makes it harder for people to make educated decisions and is…

He died when a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes. The city became an epicenter…

How can a nostalgic, branching-path story-game encourage my 100-level journalism students take risks and learn from their mistakes?
