How to be a (proper) soccer fan in America

Sports fans, stop me if you’ve heard this one before - but soccer is on the rise in the United States. This time, however, this isn’t just a vague assertion from a hopeful commentator hoping to inflate the sport’s relevance with words. Rather, it’s a statistically proven fact. Per Gallup, soccer’s popularity has tripled in the last decade. It’s now the United States’ third most popular sport, and is closing in on the “big three” of football, basketball, and baseball […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: More candidates + more choices = more voters

The following guest editorial was previously published yesterday by the Northwest Herald editorial board. Monday was a day of significance on the Illinois electoral calendar, but just how much significance remains to be seen. That day marked the deadline for independent and third-party candidates to file nomination petitions for the fall’s general election ballot. With respect to all candidates in every such race across the state, we turn to the top of the ticket, where Libertarian Kash Jackson filed his […]

Tips to avoid damaging your vehicle

It is often frustrating for drivers to make what seems to be endless repairs to their vehicles, which eats up both valuable time and money. While some people will resort to public transport or private individuals via Lyft or Uber, others can't go without the luxury and convenience of owning their own vehicle. Although not being very well known to anyone but gearheads, your vehicle operates on complicated mechanisms with interconnected parts which may stop functioning at any time for […]

EDWARDS: The Patent and Trademark Office — an enemy to America’s inventors

The Patent and Trademark Office, the federal agency charged with securing certain intellectual property, has become an enemy of America's inventors. How is it that an office charged with protecting innovation is subverting it? In 2011, Congress passed the America Invents Act. This law included a number of provisions harmful to IP rights. Perhaps the worst was the establishment of new administrative procedures for challenging a patent's validity. The abuse of this system has reached epidemic proportions. It's time for […]

This Christmas, property taxes are robbing the McCallisters

WINNEKTA (Heartland Newsfeed/Illinois Policy Institute) -- Since 1990, the owners of 671 Lincoln Avenue have paid more than $783,000 in property taxes when adjusting for inflation. It’s a robbery even Kevin McCallister couldn’t prevent. In the small Cook County village of Winnetka, Illinois, sits the filming site of John Hughes’ 1990 Christmas classic, “Home Alone.” Located in New Trier Township, the house is something of a local legend as it made Chicago-area news when it changed owners in 2012. But […]

Commentary: How the state of local news varies (and doesn’t) around the world

Too often, discussions about the state of journalism tend to be national-centric. Given differences across markets, this is not surprising. However, there are often more similarities than many people realize. This April, at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, I convened a panel of four experts to explore some of these parallels – and differences – in the realm of local journalism. The State Of Local The past decade has not been challenging for much of the news industry. But, in the […]

HAMILTON: You can lay the groundwork for reforming Congress

The first three words of the U.S. Constitution are, “We the People.” The Constitution itself, our institutions of government, the democratic process — all were established to give Americans a voice in their own governance. We are still striving to make that vision real for all, but we are closer than ever. So let me ask you some questions about Congress today. Do you think the voice of ordinary Americans resounds strongly in its hallways and chambers? Can you recall […]
