Check out our website #JournalismInAction! Here's a short intro video into how the website works inc the history of journalism in the U.S. and key issues covered by the news media! Teach your students how to use primary sources from @LibraryCongress📖 #sschat #apush

From the archives, 1964: Volume 1 Number 1 of first paper I worked for. Here’s Lesson 1 in Community Journalism 101: Take the biggest world or national story and localize it. Lesson 2: Have fun doing it.

Hear what student journalists and their advisers are saying about CSPA programs! June 4 is the last day to sign up for in-person instruction at the CSPA Summer Journalism Workshop. Virtual class registration is still available.

SAVING THE PLANET IS WORTH IT Congratulations to Corporate Knights and the Toronto Star for receiving silver medal for service journalism at the National Magazine Awards gala night last June 7, 2024. Electric Vehicles (EVs), water heater, heat pump, and induction stove help remove CO2 from the atmosphere and mitigate climate change while saving home electricity costs. Let's break this down in simple terms. 1. ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EVs) How they help: CO2 REDUCTION: Traditional cars run on gasoline or diesel, which burn fossil fuels and release CO2 into the atmosphere. EVs, on the other hand, run on electricity. If this electricity comes from renewable sources like wind or solar, they produce no direct CO2 emissions. CLIMATE MITIGATION: By reducing the number of gasoline and diesel cars on the road, we lower the overall CO2 emissions, which helps slow down climate change. Savings: ELECTRICITY COSTS: EVs are generally cheaper to run per mile compared to gasoline cars because electricity is often less expensive than gas. Additionally, they require less maintenance (no oil changes, fewer moving parts), which can save money over time. 2. ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS How they help: CO2 REDUCTION: Traditional water heaters often use natural gas, which burns and releases CO2. Electric water heaters, especially those powered by renewable energy, don't produce CO2 when heating water. CLIMATE MITIGATION: Using electric water heaters reduces reliance on fossil fuels, lowering overall CO2 emissions. Savings: ELECTRICITY COSTS: Electric water heaters can be more energy-efficient, especially with newer models and technologies like heat pump water heaters, which use less electricity than traditional electric resistance heaters. 3. HEAT PUMPS How they help: CO2 REDUCTION: Heat pumps are highly efficient systems that can both heat and cool your home by transferring heat rather than generating it. They use electricity and can be powered by renewable sources, which means no CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels. CLIMATE MITIGATION: By using heat pumps instead of traditional heating systems like oil or gas furnaces, we reduce CO2 emissions. Savings: ELECTRICITY COSTS: Heat pumps are much more efficient than traditional heating and cooling systems, which means they use less electricity and can significantly lower your energy bills. 4. INDUCTION STOVES How they help: CO2 REDUCTION: Induction stoves use electricity to cook food, unlike gas stoves that burn natural gas and release CO2. If the electricity comes from renewable sources, cooking with induction stoves can be carbon-free. CLIMATE MITIGATION: Replacing gas stoves with induction stoves helps reduce CO2 emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation. Savings: ELECTRICITY COSTS: Induction stoves are very efficient because they transfer energy directly to the cookware, reducing cooking times and energy use. This efficiency can lead to lower electricity costs compared to traditional electric stoves.
