My WSJ colleagues and I revealed in 2021 that 2U Inc. used aggressive recruiting tactics and pressured students to get giant student loans for online degrees at USC, UNC, Georgetown and other elite schools. Our stories spurred lots of reaction. https://t.co/2RTGL555dG via @WSJ

Great follow-up on what's been happening at 2U, the online degree manager for USC, UNC, Georgetown and others. @WSJ revealed the company's aggressive recruiting tactics in a 2021 investigation.

[Melissa Korn @melissakorn]

A classic @WSJ story about the rise and fall (or at least current existential crisis) of a buzzy tech company. 2U went from a market value of $5B+ to $30M, and it's not quite clear what happens next.

Next time you’re on a Zoom call with your boss, AI may be telling her if you’re bored or frustrated by analyzing your facial expressions, voice and words. My latest WSJ story looks at the promise and risks of AI that can interpret human empathy. https://t.co/efZwNY79Sd

23 weeks. That’s how long Evan has been wrongfully imprisoned in Russia without a trial. His parents recently joined @WSJ journalists in our NYC newsroom, so we could show our support. Please join us in demanding his immediate release.

The criminal case against former President Donald Trump was triggered by these Wall Street Journal articles about a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, particularly the reporting by @joe_palazzolo & @mrothfeld. A history here:
