A report released Monday by Pew Research Center says about one in five Americans regularly get their news from so-called news influencers on social mediaAbout one in five Americans – and a virtually identical share of Republicans and Democrats – regularly get their news from digital influencers who are more likely to be found on the social media platform X, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Research Center. The report found that news influencers posted mostly about politics and the election, followed by social issues like race and abortion and international events, such as the Israel-Hamas war. “These influencers have really reached new levels of attention and prominence this year amid the presidential election,” Galen Stocking, senior computational social scientist at Pew Research Center, said in a statement. Racial minorities, young adults and adults with a lower income were more likely to get their news from news influencers, according to the report. On social media, though, some influencers have positioned themselves as figures presenting neglected points of view.

Israel has continued its heavy bombing around Beirut this weekend while its ground troops targeted southern Lebanon. These actions signal a widening offensive, which could further complicate efforts to establish a cease-fire. Iran has recently signaled that it would support such a cease-fire, and the Biden administration is renewing its push for an agreement. Israel is demanding that as part of a truce, Hezbollah would need to withdraw from nearby the Israel-Lebanon border. There is no public indication that Hezbollah would be willing to concede to such demands.

For the first time, President Biden will allow Ukraine to use U.S. long-range missiles on Russia. It is likely that these weapons will first be used in the Kursk region against Russian and North Korean troops. This decision marks a major shift in U.S. policy, coming as Biden has just two months left in office. Biden’s decision is a response to Russia’s recruitment of North Korean troops into the war. Ukraine will now be able to use Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), which have a range of around 190 miles.

Rolling back DEI initiatives risks entrenching systemic inequities, shrinking talent pipelines and undermining the competitive edge of companies in an increasingly diverse global marketplace. As Bloomberg highlighted, rolling back DEI risks deepening systemic inequities, further limiting access to economic mobility for marginalised groups and exacerbating existing disparities. Instead, meaningful DEI requires embedding equity into decision-making processes and addressing systemic barriers. Another global study led by Özbilgin explores how DEI leaders navigate backlash in the face of alt-right ideologies. More critically, abandoning DEI initiatives signals tolerance for systemic inequities, a stance that undermines organizational resilience and alienates diverse talent.
