What makes news?
Amelia Newcomb
As we start the week, there鈥檚 lots of tumult to address on the global stage: a terror attack in Russia, deepening U.S.-Israel tensions over Gaza, sparring in Kenya over sending police to help in Haiti. You鈥檒l find insightful takes on all those in today鈥檚 Daily.
You鈥檒l also find news that tends to get overlooked. In New Haven, Connecticut, correspondent Troy Aidan Sambajon reports on a new community where housing is a salaried benefit for early childhood educators. It鈥檚 a nascent effort to address the immediate needs of desperately needed but often low-wage workers 鈥� and to build a village that more broadly sustains them. It鈥檚 innovation that lays the groundwork for sustainable progress. And that鈥檚 news.
