EdSurge

Learning sparks ⚡ your curiosity. We think journalism about education should do that, too.

But where can readers go for compelling stories about the powerful forces, fascinating people and innovative practices influencing teaching and learning today? Where can they dig deeper beyond what happened to find smart, nuanced analysis about why it all matters?

EdSurge is the digital news and research magazine about education that illuminates, informs and ignites your curiosity. We bring you human-centered insights for a changing world.

Here’s how we do it. We root our journalism in the lives of educators and learners, sharing stories that elevate their voices and experiences. We report and write about their accomplishments and dreams, plus the challenges they face, as human beings; students and scholars; and members of local and global communities. We discern trends, problems and solutions shaping teaching and learning experiences, highlighting what’s at stake for educators and learners as well as the broader education system and for society. Then, we bring these insights to life for readers by publishing reported feature stories and news analysis articles as well as commentary and narrative essays.

We aim to cover a few of today’s most important themes with depth and nuance across early childhood, K-12 and higher education. For 2023, we’re reporting about youth mental health; student growth and engagement in the classroom; the conditions of the modern education workforce; how education is changing to reflect U.S. demographic shifts; and efforts to make quality education more affordable.

No matter the topic, an EdSurge story cuts through hype, piques curiosity, illuminates outcomes and stirs empathy. We aim to leave our savvy readers with better answers — and bigger questions. We offer education expertise that’s enjoyable to read. We hope our writers’ voices and ideas jump off the (web)page.

We deliver our journalism and research through our daily website, our weekly newsletters, our podcast and our social media platforms. We also produce and co-publish stories with media partners. EdSurge further supports the education ecosystem with a Product Index, a Jobs Board, and more.

The74

The 74 is a nonprofit news organization covering America’s education system from early childhood through college and career.

Our schools are facing challenges unlike any they have seen before. Prior to COVID, fewer than half our students could read or do math at grade level. Now, after years of pandemic-related disruptions, trauma and upheaval, we risk losing a generation of students to learning loss, widening achievement gaps and fractured institutions. Yet even as more children are at risk of being left behind, the education debate is often dominated by partisanship, misinformation and political opportunism — not on student needs.

As a national news site, The 74 is dedicated to examining the issues impacting the education of America’s 74 million children — and the effectiveness of the system that delivers it. We center our reporting on the teachers, innovators, researchers, school leaders and politicians who shape that education, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. But most importantly, we focus on the students, their parents and their achievement.

Our mission is to lead an honest, fact-based conversation about how to give American students the skills, support and social mobility they deserve. Backed by data, investigation, and expertise. The 74’s journalists aim to challenge the status quo, expose corruption and inequality, spotlight solutions, confront the impact of systemic racism, and champion the heroes bringing positive change to our schools.

There are 74 million reasons we need to talk about education every day. Join the conversation.
