This research is part of a multi-phase, multi-year effort to understand local news provision ― in detail yet at scale. The state of New Jersey acts as both laboratory and pilot for testing and implementing a new method for evaluating local journalism; namely, rather than mapping by where an outlet’s newsroom is based, news provision is mapped by coverage area, where a news outlet is counted in each municipality it says it covers (note that coverage area is self-reported in this phase of the project).

The United States International University Sports Federation (USIUSF) has endorsed a bid to stage the 2027 Summer World University Games in North Carolina.
A formal letter of intent was sent the International University Sports Federation (FISU) yesterday, with the Triangle region the proposed location for the Games.
