UW-Madison professors research social media effects on teens

The rush of self-assurance and validation when your post is met with positive comments is a sensation anyone who ever posted on social media can relate to.

Teenagers live and breathe social media, and the negative effects of these platforms can have a strong, long-term impact on teenagers’ mental and physical health. Chris Cascio, an assistant

Local Journalism: Why We Are All Needed In The Fight

Not long ago, the news industry went through a pivotal transition: moving from print to digital. While it was a successful transition for many publications, many communities faced the fear of joining the “news desert,” in which they are left without a local daily news outlet all together.

All of these, now, are only possibilities. They may forever remain in my dreams. Until August, senior year was looking somewhat normal. We were returning

Standardized Tests Are Not So Standardized

When the pandemic forced the cancellation of SAT and ACT test dates, UC and other schools made the tests optional for 2021 applicants or waived them altogether. Standardized testing isn’t so “standardized” and should therefore become an optional supplement in the college admission process for all colleges and universities. ACT claims that standardized testing is vital to compare academic achievement across schools and understanding whether students are meeting educational standards. However,
