EducationNews.org
Recommended as Resource by the National Education Writers Association
EducationNews, the Internet's Leading Source of EducationNews is honored to be recognized as a professional online resource for education reporters throughout the United States. The National Education Writers Association has just published their Standards for Education Reporters guide recommending EducationNe ws , as a resource along with 13 other online/print publications for their education coverage.

"EducationNews.org is the the Wild West of education journalism.  
Its content and the rhetoric of some of its contributors may seem unrestrained, and that may discomfit those who require the appearance of civility and decorum. Unfortunately, the civility and decorum one finds in mainstream education journalism hides an often brutal censorship, where only certain approved points of view and information are allowed expression. In the end, which is better for society--free and open expression which may sometimes seem impolite, or polite expression which is narrowly limited, rigidly controlled, and often false or fraudulent?"
...Richard P. Phelps, author of Kill the Messenger: The War on Standardized Testing

by Kathleen Carpenter - Editor, Teachers.Net Gazette
You want to be well-informed, and the Internet provides access to a wealth of information, but what busy educator has time to surf the sites of all major publications for articles related to the field of education?

The education elites keep parents and community members in the dark on what they are doing.  In just a few minutes of scanning EducationNews.org each day, parents, community activists and school board members can see trends of what is happening in other cities and states.

Mr. Kilpatrick-- I've been a great admirer of yours for years, & have subscribed to your daily e-mail list ever since someone first linked me to your site.

  I really want to thank you-- because of the many articles I've read here, as a parent I've become much better informed on education issues.  
(To give you a clue on my naiveté, when I first put my child into our dismal public school, I didn't know "whole child" from "whole wheat".... )  But since then, and largely due to the invaluable educational resources & services you provide through your website, for a "lay person" I have learned a great deal about the education industry, with the result that recently I've been asked to write a column for my local paper on a parent's eye view of education issues.  It's a great opportunity for me to publicly ask some hard questions about our local schools-- questions that professional education reporters often don't ask.  And truthfully, I would never have been able to form the questions had I not learned so much from your site.  So I just wanted to thank you personally Mr. Kilpatrick for providing me with a great grounding on different educational views and philosophies.  You people do a fabulous job & I can't praise you all enough.  Thanks again, Sincerely 
Margaret Hamilton

If you have not discovered http//www.EducationNews.org yet, you may want to visit this site. I do not know of a better "safe" site which carries the very latest in education news from across Texas, the U. S., and the world.
My English I students just finished a library search-and-find unit in which they had to pull a source off the Internet. I felt perfectly safe telling them they could go to EducationNews.org. My students were intrigued with the broad selection of contemporary articles, commentaries, and reports because most of them were about school-related topics which interested them.

The Internet is loaded with selective garbage on education issues including a lot of the stories put there by the popular print media. However unlike the popular print and TV media, it is possible to find web sites that actually post stories that reflect all sides of education issues including some garbage. An example is EducationNews.org, which is open to a true public dialogue on education that is a rarity in the media. School reformers of all persuasions and defenders of American schools are given equal opportunity to express their views.

EducationNews.org is, by far, the most impressive website on education related items I have ever seen. I recently formed my own education organization (Project Restoration, which forms charter schools). Since I have no staff, reading clips would be so time consuming as to prevent me from adequately performing my other duties. But national trends and news are extremely important to the expansion of my business.
...................................................................
EducationNews has simplified this task for me, and I cannot thank you enough for it. Now, I log on once a day and pull down the articles of interest, read them, and within 30 minutes, I'm up-to-date. Your site is greatly appreciated. MW \

John Swinton (considered 'the dean of his profession' by his peers), Chief of Staff, New York Times when asked to give a toast at the New York Press Club in 1953. (note-how true, today),

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for anothr job. If allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press. We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." (note-Yes)
