The 74

The 74 is a nonprofit digital news outlet founded in 2015 and focused exclusively on U.S. education policy, from pre-K through higher education. It is funded primarily by philanthropies that support school choice and charter-school expansion, and its coverage consistently favors education reform positions — including charter schools and vouchers — that overlap substantially with Republican education policy. Its reporting on Trump's second-term education agenda is mixed: it treats school-choice expansion and the dismantling of the Department of Education with some sympathy while also covering cuts to Head Start, civil-rights rollbacks, and immigration enforcement's effects on school attendance more critically.
