The News Movement

July has been another busy month at The News Movement! Check out our latest newsletter for a roundup of our top stories of the month: ✔ The UK welcomed a new Labour government, but many young voters won’t remember life when the party last won an election. To help, we compiled a time capsule of culture, fashion and economy highlights from 2005. ✔ Our team went to the Republican National Convention (RNC) to get an inside look into the GOP. We got the chance to interview tons of people when we were there, from the old-schoolers in seersucker suits to those in custom Swarovski-spangled hoop gowns. ✔ Our video was shared by Hollywood A-listers! It was brilliant to see Olivia Rodrigo, Lili Reinhart, and Julia Fox pick up our clip outlining Kamala Harris’s election pledge about abortion rights. ✔ TNM hit 400k followers on TikTok! An exciting milestone for TNM and our mission to bring unbiased, accurate reporting to the platform. ✔ Our documentary about Columbia University's pro-Palestine protests premiered on YouTube. An interesting investigation by Kiki Sideris into who really drove the protests, and when will they'll really come to an end.
