New Pew study shows Black news consumers favor local over national media coverage
A Pew Research Center study reveals that Black news consumers prefer local media over national outlets for coverage of Black communities, citing better understanding and less reliance on stereotypes.

The study also highlights generational and political divides in perceptions of media fairness, with older Black Americans and Black Democrats viewing local news more positively. Historical context is provided, noting the long-standing need for fair Black media coverage. Despite positive local efforts, challenges remain in achieving balanced representation.

LLM Hallucinations: A Bug or A Feature?
Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable of impressive feats but are prone to 'hallucinations,' where they generate plausible yet inaccurate responses. This issue is significant in fields like healthcare, finance, and law, where accuracy is crucial. Various organizations, including Stanford University and Oxford Internet Institute, are researching the causes and solutions for these hallucinations. Some view them as bugs to be fixed, while others see them as inherent features. Efforts to mitigate hallucinations include fine-tuning models, developing sector-specific approaches, and rethinking the perception of hallucinations. The rapid growth of LLMs poses challenges, as future models may be trained on flawed outputs, potentially amplifying inaccuracies over time.

How US gun culture stacks up with the world
The United States has a unique gun culture with the highest rate of civilian gun ownership globally, according to the Small Arms Survey. With 120 guns for every 100 Americans, the country outpaces others in gun-related deaths, including suicides and mass shootings. Constitutional rights to bear arms in the US contrast with other countries that have successfully implemented gun reforms, such as Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, leading to significant reductions in gun violence. Despite the high rates of gun violence, US political reform on stricter gun laws remains stagnant, with a divided public opinion and political landscape.

Before age concerns forced exit, Biden was weakened by angst over economy
United States President Joe Biden faced significant challenges with public perception of his economic management before concerns about his age led to his withdrawal from the election. Despite strong economic growth and low unemployment, Biden struggled to convince voters of his economic success, with many Americans, including his own voter base, viewing the economy negatively. Polls consistently showed that voters trusted his Republican rival, Donald Trump, more on economic issues. Inflation, which peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, remained a major concern, with many Americans blaming government policies. Although wages are now growing faster than inflation, they have not yet caught up to pre-pandemic levels in real terms. Biden's administration was criticized for not adequately addressing the pain of higher prices.

After Biden’s Withdrawal, Other Aged Leaders Get Some Serious Side-Eye
President Biden's decision to withdraw from the re-election campaign has sparked discussions about aging leaders worldwide, particularly in Africa. In Cameroon, many hope President Paul Biya, the world's oldest leader at 91, will follow Biden's example, though skepticism remains. The article highlights the prevalence of aged leaders in Africa, where the median age is significantly lower. It contrasts Biden's principled political leadership with the reluctance of African leaders to step down. The piece also discusses the cultural reverence for elders in Africa and the emergence of younger leaders, often through force, with Senegal's Bassirou Diomaye Faye being a notable exception for winning an election.

Unauthorized Immigration: Evaluating the Effects and Policy Responses
Immigration, particularly unauthorized immigration (UI), has been a focal point of economic research and policy debate. Economists have studied the drivers of UI, its impact on the domestic economy, and the effectiveness of various immigration policies. UI is more responsive to economic conditions than documented immigration, making it a valuable subject for understanding migration patterns. Research indicates that UI may have a small negative effect on domestic workers with similar skills but can complement other groups and reduce prices for certain goods and services. Policies like E-Verify and state-level enforcement have mixed effects on labor market outcomes and domestic welfare. Decentralized enforcement of immigration laws tends to lower overall domestic welfare compared to centralized enforcement. The ongoing research highlights the complexity of UI's impact and the need for a unified analytical framework to fully understand its effects.

Support for 'Texit' is still low — but it's growing. What's behind the momentum?
Support for Texas secession, or 'Texit,' remains low but is growing, driven by frustration with the federal government among some Texans. The Texas Nationalist Movement, which has been advocating for secession for nearly two decades, recently gathered 140,000 signatures to put the issue on the GOP primary ballot, though it was rejected by the state Republican party. The movement taps into a sentiment of state autonomy and dissatisfaction with national politics. Despite historical and legal challenges, proponents believe Texit could gain traction, with plans to reintroduce the Texas Independence Referendum Act in 2025. The article highlights the perspectives of various stakeholders, including political science experts and local politicians, on the implications and future of the secessionist movement.
