Glenda Morgan does not sound that impressed with Google’s latest promises about AI and education.

When scholars of journalism study the effects of the shrinking press corps, they usually focus on how it hurts civil society.

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