And so that's what's at stake.

Well, I can speak from an organization that covers an institution in a very in-depth way.

You know, education, not only, as Tracy mentioned, CPS gets... half of your property taxes every time you pay your bill.

But it really, you know, it's responsible for educating the next generation.

And I feel like that those are two huge reasons why everybody really needs to make sure that there is attention on the issue.

And so for many years, even when many newspapers had robust education desks, like there was... a time when you know that was seen as like the starter desk or the desk that people maybe didn't it wasn't the one that everyone wanted to be on but it is a really really important i joke that i think it's the best beat um because it it touches every part of society and um i think we are an example where you know to the point of what happens to communities when you lose sort of that fourth estate or watchdog, holding people accountable for the way that they run systems, it can really kind of fall apart.

And I will say, I think it's best covered on the ground level as well.
