A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media

November 29, 2025

You don’t have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists. The profession hasn’t been popular among adults for many years, but a new survey shows the extent to which teens aged 13 to 18 feel the same way; Murphy and Ogburn have seen it for years among their friends who wonder why they want to go into the field. Experts say it’s a combination of their surroundings, including the most prominent politician they have known — Donald Trump — who frequently denounces “fake news” — and a lack of understanding of journalism’s role in society.

Mateer was 23 of 38 for 318 yards and two touchdowns, and Sategna caught nine passes for 121 yards. Oklahoma held the Tigers (7-5, 3-5) to 198 total yards and came up with a late stop to hold on. LSU played through rumors about its coaching situation. Brian Kelly was fired earlier and Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has been rumored to be his replacement.

Rangers fail to duplicate road success at MSG, fall to 2-8-1 at home after loss to Lightning

November 29, 2025

The New York Rangers have an NHL-best 11 road wins, yet their play at home has been a mess by comparison. Coming into Saturday’s game against Tampa following impressive road wins over Carolina and Boston — and a three-game winning streak overall — the Rangers reverted to home form as the surging Lightning beat New York 4-1. The loss dropped New York’s record at Madison Square Garden to 2-8-1. The Rangers have scored just three goals total in those eight regulation defeats.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day should sleep well, a year after losing The Game when his team was favored by about three touchdowns.

No. 13 Miami races past No. 24 Pitt 38-7 to state its case for a CFP berth

November 29, 2025

Carson Beck passed for 267 yards and three touchdowns as No. 13 Miami beat No. 24 Pittsburgh 38-7. The win kept Miami’s slim hopes for a spot in the ACC title game alive at least for a few hours. More pressing for the Hurricanes is whether they did enough to impress the voters for the College Football Playoff. Miami finished the regular season 10-2 and won its last four games by an average of 26 points. Pitt fell to 8-4 and saw its own chances of reaching the ACC championship disappear while being overwhelmed by the deeper and more talented Hurricanes.

Trump says Venezuela’s airspace should be viewed as closed. It’s not clear what that means

November 29, 2025

President Donald Trump is saying the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela should be considered as “closed in its entirety.” It an assertion made on social media Saturday that raises more questions about the U.S. pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The White House isn’t responding to questions about what Trump meant by his post. The Federal Aviation Administration’s jurisdiction is generally limited to the United States and its territories. The agency does routinely warn pilots about the dangers of flying over areas with ongoing conflicts or military activity around the globe, as it did earlier this month with Venezuela.

Shoppers spend billions on Black Friday to snag holiday deals, despite wider economic uncertainty

November 29, 2025

Despite wider economic uncertainty hovering above this year’s holiday season, shoppers turned out in big numbers for Black Friday — spending billions of dollars both in stores and online. Adobe Analytics, which tracks e-commerce, said U.S. consumers spent a record $11.8 billion online Friday, marking a 9.1% jump from last year. Consumers also spent a record $6.4 billion online on Thanksgiving Day, per Adobe. In-store traffic has continued to dwindle. Initial data from RetailNext, which measures real-time foot traffic in physical stores, found that in-store Black Friday traffic fell 3.6% from 2024 — but that’s notably better than a decline of 6.2% seen in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.

AI country hit ‘Walk My Walk’ built on Blanco Brown’s sound sparks questions of attribution, ethics

November 29, 2025

An AI-generated country song, “Walk My Walk,” recently topped Billboard’s country digital song sales chart. It’s credited to a fictional artist named Breaking Rust, but the vocal style is based on Grammy-nominated country artist Blanco Brown. Brown was unaware of the song until friends alerted him. The track’s success highlights how generative AI is disrupting the music industry, allowing anyone to create songs using models trained on real artists’ voices. Brown has since released his own version of the song. He sees this as a legal and cultural issue, emphasizing the unique value real artists bring to music.

Consumers should do their research before giving in to Travel Tuesday temptation

November 29, 2025

Chain stores have Black Friday. Online marketplaces have Cyber Monday. For local businesses, it’s Small Business Saturday. In the last 20 years, more segments of the retail industry have vied for their own piece of the holiday shopping season. The travel trade has firmly joined the trend with another post-Thanksgiving sales push: Travel Tuesday. On the same day as the nonprofit world’s Giving Tuesday, airlines, hotels, cruise ship companies, travel booking platforms and tour operators get in on the annual spirit to spend by promoting one-day deals. Consumer advocates say there are legitimate savings to be had but also chances to be misled by marketing that conveys a false sense of urgency.

November 29, 2025

Legal experts are raising lots of questions about the Pentagon’s investigation of Mark Kelly.

Anthony Davis returned to Los Angeles on the same night he came back from a 14-game injury absence, and he received loud pregame cheers from Lakers fans who were thrilled to see a longtime favorite healthy and hooping.
