UK School Leaders & Safeguarding on Legal Smartphone Ban Policies

Today the House of Lords is back on familiar territory, debating whether smartphones should be banned in schools as part of the wider Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the growing push to reshape children’s relationship with phones and social media. Behind that headline is a much more nuanced reality: A new House of Commons Library briefing shows that in England there is still no statutory ban, but schools are expected to prohibit mobile and smart device use during the day through their behaviour policies, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are each taking slightly different routes on restriction and local discretion. The research is equally uncomfortable. UNESCO, OECD, WHO and others link phones to distraction, behaviour issues, bullying and mental health concerns, yet some international data suggests simple bans do not automatically translate into better results or wellbeing. In my article I look at this through a risk lens and the “5 Ts” of risk response, including an option many leaders are now considering: - Banning smartphones, but still allowing basic brick phones for emergency contact. If you are in school leadership, safeguarding or governance: 1. Where do you stand on a legal smartphone ban in schools? 2. What is your current phone policy in practice, not just on paper? 3. Have you seen any clear shift in behaviour, learning or wellbeing? #mentalhealth #technologyrisk #risktreatment #education #politics

Reporters on Newsroom Accessibility-Northeast for The Word

Editors, reporters, and others in the news-o-sphere: If you haven't been reading the magazine The Word from Equal Access Public Media, you're missing out on great interviews, analysis, and opinions on accessibility (and more) in journalism. Check it out at https://the-word.news. I have been taking off the editor hat a little more to report and write a bit more. On that note, I'm actually looking for reporters who might be interested in letting me interview them for a couple pieces I have in mind. Yes, this right here is a journo-request seeking other journalists. •Do you work at a news outlet and your job is actually accessibility? I'd love to hear from you! I'd like to do the "day-in-a-life-of" the newsroom accessibility coordinator or visuals accessibility expert at a news outlet. Would especially help if you are in the Northeast so I could shadow you in person for a couple of hours so we could really do the "day-in-a-life-of" properly. •Do you cover politics and you go the extra mile in your stories and on social media to make it understandable because you want to reach as many people as possible? To explain the jargon? To really let your news audience know what those elected officials are talking about? To demystify the process and the bills? Reach out to me. I'd love to interview about making politics more accessible. • Are you out there covering the anti-ICE protests? Did you cover protests in the past? Do you have a lot of experience in covering protests? I'd love to talk to you about the best way to cover protests, including how to keep yourself safe. (Also, if you are a neurodivergent reporter out there covering protests, I'm really curious to talk to you.) I am very flexible with my fellow journalists when it comes to interviewing because, well, we're all busy working journalists. I know I personally am wearing quite a few hats. Feel free to reach out to me! [email redacted] or on Signal, stacykess.01. #JournoRequest #News #NewsForJournalists #NonprofitNews

Authentic Business Leaders for Times Podcast Interview

What can business learn from politics? Not a question that gets asked often ... But we often ask the question the other way round, but there are times quite a lot where business can learn from politics Politicians might be slow in some regards, but they are fast on the mood of the public and critically HOW to communicate them - authenticity has become everything. I think that we may begin to see more of that with CEOs over the course of the next couple of years and because there are more 'safe spaces.' I loathe using the term watching it back - note to self, must come up with a better term. There is the Tech Times and The Business podcast both from The Times and newly launched Big Boss interview too. 🙏 Big thanks to Heather Blundell for hosting Hannah Prevett and Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett this morning for Grayling's 2026 trends event. Who are the most authentic business leaders? Michael O'Leary from Ryanair is an obvious one, but would love to hear of a few more you think we should get on Jimmy's Jobs of the Future - please do drop in the comments 👇 👇 #2026trends #media #policy #communication #podcast #interview #journorequest #PR

Finance Expert Needed to Explain Kaspi.kz Low Valuation vs Peers

Can someone please make the $KSPI valuation make sense to me? (6.7x P/E) Okay, I need a sanity check. I've been in a rabbit hole with Kaspi.kz ($KSPI) for an article, and my brain is starting to break. This company is an absolute monster operationally. I'm talking 50%+ ROE. I'm talking 18 straight quarters of "Rule of 40." I'm talking user engagement that rivals Facebook (68% DAU/MAU) and an avg. user making 76 transactions a MONTH. It's a better business on paper than $MELI, $SE, or $NU. And it trades at 6.7x P/E. I know the risks. I'm not blind. It's in Kazakhstan. (Tenge currency risk is real, I get it). The Turkey Gamble. (They're spending a ton of money expanding, and it could totally fail). The Geopolitics. (That 2024 short-seller report about Russia. Even though JPM/Goldman still have $100+ targets, the "stink" lingers). But... does all that add up to an 80-90% discount to its peers? Is the currency risk really so bad it wipes out 50% ROE? Is the market pricing the Turkey expansion as a 100% chance of bankruptcy? I'm struggling to see how the math works. It feels like the market is pricing in a total catastrophe for a business that is, right now, firing on all cylinders. I laid out all the numbers and the bull/bear case in my kaspi analysis. Genuinely curious if I'm just missing the obvious, massive trap here.

Athens lore… Tell me Athens lore that might pertain either to you, a business, or some location in town that’s significant to the city in some way.

Women Dental Practice Owners & Staff on Business Challenges & Solutions

Input Wanted — Women in Dentistry — Challenges for Practice Owners Hi all. I’m a reporter working on a piece about the challenges dentists face as business owners — with a focus on women who own practices. The feature is for a B2B magazine read by dentists and other dental professionals, so I want to make sure I capture the unique challenges that dentists face running a practice day-to-day on a deeper level — i.e. I don't want to just be regurgitating surface-level things they already know. Would also love to include meaningful solutions and tips for dealing with those challenges. For that, I need the help and insights of women in the field! A few Qs to get the conversation going: Dental school teaches clinical skills, not business management. Did your training prepare you in any way to lead a team or run a business? Most dental offices are small (under 50 staff), meaning there’s rarely much middle management. What challenges come with that? Do you feel like you’re handling HR, finance, and operations all at once? Working in a small, close team every day must have its own dynamics. How do you manage staff relationships, office politics, or conflicts? On the flip side, do you find your team feels like family? Do women face any unique challenges in leadership or ownership roles within dentistry? What keeps you up at night as a practice owner? What would make your work easier? What’s working — strategies, systems, or lessons learned that help you stay afloat? I’d also welcome input from hygienists, assistants, and office managers who’ve seen these dynamics up close. I’m especially interested in concrete examples, solutions, or lessons learned. THANK YOU!

Etiquette Experts on Dinner Party Faux Pas for Southern Living

For Southern Living, I’m working on a story about rude dinner party behaviors. Looking for comments from etiquette experts: - What’s the most common faux pas guests make at dinner parties? - How do etiquette rules evolve with the times — for example, are things like arriving fashionably late or taking photos at the table still considered rude? - What should a good guest always do before leaving a dinner party — and what’s something most people forget to do that makes a lasting impression? - Should you always bring a gift for the host? - Is there a polite way to handle it if someone brings up politics, diets, or other controversial topics at the table? - And for hosts, what are the rudest behaviors they should avoid themselves — things guests might silently judge?

UMass Students Needed for Dating & Politics Interviews

Dating at UMass & Political Affiliations- Article for my journalism class Hi!! I am trying to come up with some ideas of what to write about for a story in my journalism class. I thought that maybe interviewing a few students about their dating experiences and how politics can play a role in these relationships might be interesting, especially since there is a pretty big political divide between young men and women. If anyone has any insight at all or has had an interesting experience relating to this topic (and would be comfortable with being interviewed on the record), it would be incredibly helpful!!!

Ladakh Food System Voices for Culture & Politics Feature

I'm a hobbyist food writer who wants to create awareness about Ladakh's issues and I'm looking to interview people part of the food system in Ladakh - from farmers to home cooks. I do food writing as a hobby and I usually write about the role that food plays in culture and politics in India. I've lately been reading about Ladkah's protests and why they're happening, and I would like to help raise awareness about the issues Ladakh is facing from the perspective of food systems. From research, I've learned that Ladakh has an extremely unique culture owing to its unique land, ecology, and people. The fact that Ladakhi people have lost their decision-making abilities about their land as a result of the revoking of Article 370 means Ladakhi culture is at risk - including its cuisine and its food systems. From what is grown to what is consumed, everything could change and Ladakhi culture could be lost. This is my learning based on my research. I would love to speak with people in Ladakh who are part of the food system and who can help me better understand and go deeper on what's happening and what the impact could be. I would also love to understand if a piece like this would actually help - in whatever small way. I don't do this for a living and I wouldn't earn anything from it - whatever I do (if this ever get published by a trusted media outlet), would go towards the Ladakhi people. Thank you.
