Why is the Arab world perpetually at war with itself? Why does it spawn so many extremist groups? Why has it been trapped in cycles of violence and instability for decades?
Government is about to receive another US$56 million ($112 million ) from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF’s executive board yesterday concluded the fourth reviews of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) arrangements with Barbados. This clears the way for Barbados to immediately draw down US$19 million (BDS$38 […]

When Trump won in 2016, those in journalism circles wrung their hands. How had the media missed it? The field settled on an explanation: America’s elite newsrooms had overlooked middle America and neglected rural areas. Journalists misunderstood the zeitgeist. Listening became the new mantra. Employ journalists living in the heartland. Spend time in flyover country....
It’s hardly revelatory that journalism does not reside at the center of most folks’ lives today. We all now have more access to information, to analysis, and to opinions than at any point in human history, so newsrooms play a less central role on where and how we learn about the world than they did...
We’re heading into Trump: The Sequel and we know how some of this show goes. It will be the same — but different. We know people aren’t reading; social media is full of algorithmic distractions; silly videos are addicting; and brain rot is real. We know we’ll be contending with news fatigue and many of...
In 2015, when I founded Lupa, Brazil’s first organization fully dedicated to combating disinformation, “fake news” was a niche term, Donald Trump was still a reality TV personality, and fact-checking was virtually unknown in Brazil. Back then, our mission was urgent and clear: uncover falsehoods, expose those responsible for it, and demand accountability. The work...
After the 2016 presidential election, I left institutional journalism philanthropy, questioning my ability to reinvigorate journalism’s role in a healthy democracy. Since then, I’ve explored other avenues on how journalism might inspire in people a sense of self-efficacy — the driving factor for civic engagement. But many people have continued to feel even more hopeless,...
One of the more unsettling reporting experiences I had this year was reading through the House Committee on Education and the Workforce report on antisemitism on college campuses, released in October. For the 325-page report on pro-Palestine protest activity, the Republican-led committee (the same group responsible for the show trials of U.S. college presidents over...
No silver bullet will magically solve our democracy crises. But without viable communication and information systems, the long slog toward reconstructing democratic institutions is rendered insurmountable. Any hope of a democratic future requires that we reimagine and rebuild local media infrastructures. What might this look like during Trump 2.0? While federal-level initiatives are mostly nonstarters...
When I think about the future of diversity, belonging, equity and inclusion in the journalism industry in these uncertain times, I remind myself it’s nothing new to those who have studied and been a part of this work that has been going on for more than seven decades. DBEI work has survived being en vogue,...
The day after the election, ProPublica editor-in-chief Stephen Engelberg published a detailed article telling readers what to expect from the seven-time Pulitzer Prize-winner during the new administration. “At ProPublica, our mantra is that we bring the receipts to every story we publish,” he wrote. “We are journalists, not leaders of the resistance…As we have done...
Hegel, the German philosopher, had a theory of what drives history: conflict between the status quo and a new challenge, resolving (sometimes after much sturm und drang) into a stable synthesis. In 2025, I predict that the journalistic status quo and the challengers of digital social media will begin to resolve — into editorially anchored...
"We are coordinating these efforts with the Belarusian leadership, specifically President Alexander Lukashenko," the Russian leader emphasized
In the summer of 2016, a chance encounter while walking through downtown Manhattan provided an unexpected lens into the fractured dynamics of American politics and our state of civil discourse. I was engaged in a discussion about the election with a friend when a middle-aged white man approached us, two Black men, and politely asked...
[Click here for English version.] Soy latina, mexicana, migrante y fronteriza… y desde el 1 de noviembre también ciudadana estadounidense. Tardé 18 años. Fue un camino largo, doloroso y costoso. Fue una travesía de silencios, como los muchos que adoquinan el tan prostituido término del “sueño americano”. Regué las flores que hoy huelo con muchas...
