Wonder, hope, and the news
Amelia Newcomb
Do wonder and hope belong in the news?
Wonder certainly did yesterday, as Americans marveled at the total solar eclipse sweeping across their country. It challenged the discordant images many Americans hold of each other. Staff writer Simon Montlake reflects today on experiencing it with his son.
You鈥檒l see hope in our聽other聽stories as well.聽In Antakya, Turkey, a school principal is countering expectations of a 鈥渓ost generation鈥� struggling in the aftermath of last year鈥檚 devastating earthquake. And amid National Poetry Month, a former U.S. poet laureate, no stranger to hardship, talks about looking for the stars 鈥� the 鈥渃onstellation of story鈥� that helps a person thrive.
Building trust in the future, looking for light. It鈥檚 news.
