Newsrooms are contributing to the perception that U.S. elections are unfair and fraudulent. A thread. 1/

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

@dorieturnernolt @EdWriters @ajc @NBCDFW So true.

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

@Blair_Mann @dcpave @MMartinCadogan @sugamamatweets @DigitalPromise @mnguyen @hagersharp Thank you, everyone!

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

@blair_mann, thank for a great start for #ewa23. That data panel may be the best @EdWriters session I’ve ever been to. #brilliant

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

True, but you have to have a compelling story to tell and a reason for the media to tell it. That’s not easy.

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

James Elias says the the media is the best way to influence people, especially policymakers. #ewa23

@sugamamatweets says parents need data in digestible bites that they can take the information and make it useful. #ewa23

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

@mnguyen says don’t throw too much data out there. Focus on a few key points and use them to tell a story. #ewa23

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

James Elias: when communicating about data, answer the question: why do they matter? #ewa23

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

@MMartinCadogan says data alone won’t reach people. She says data + story = good communications. #ewa23

@jonah_hoff We never did break the curve until vaccines became available.

This is a rhetorical question, right? The answer obviously is yes.

[Andrew Rotherham @arotherham]

Is there a scenario where the Biden Admin gets to capture any political upside from loan jubilee in 22 midterms, then doesn't have to deal w/ actual consequences of policy because SCOTUS, and then gets the issue again going into 2024 and can run against court as as bonus?

Rhetoric from some leaders accusing schools of indoctrination is harmful to our nation, SEF President Raymond Pierce writes for @Forbes. "Real solutions require the civility that we have long sought to teach our children.” https://t.co/3g1C4QFKRn

⁦@JointCenter⁩, does this chart say the average black student with loans has not paid down any principal after 12 years? Am I reading that right? #ewahighered

The historic declines in math scores on the Nation's Report Card, or @NAEP_NCES, show the need for urgent action to address opportunity gaps in education: https://t.co/biN4Mm8YU3 @PressClubDC @EdWriters #NAEP @GovBoard

[davidjhoff @davidjhoffdc]

@mpolikoff My take away: a minority is leading the discourse and framing issues of race and sex so that people feel uncomfortable with how (not what) they are being taught and change their voting choices because of it. See Va. gov race in 2021.

[Southern Education Foundation @SouthernEdFound]

As Georgia considers updating its school funding formula, other Southern states are making major new investments in education. SEF President Raymond Pierce on why these moves matter, in @Forbes: https://t.co/ymsvV8gXMh @EdLawCenter @GaBudget @GAPartnership
