The New York Times:

  • The Front Page – “Inside China’s Dystopian Dreams: A.I., Shame and Lots of Cameras”: The Chinese Government is interested in using emerging facial recognition and security camera technology to monitor and police their populace. Although their capability is not as advanced as propaganda claims, investment in the area is strong and even the threat of surveillance is believed to keep people in line.
  • International – “Legal Marijuana is Coming to Canada. Investors Catch the Buzz”: Medical marijuana has existed in Canada since 2001 but will be legal for recreational use on October 17, 2018. Many small businesses are forming in an attempt to capture profits from what is expected to be a growing industry.
  • Editorials, Op-Ed and Letters – “Why NATO Matters”: NATO has been a largely successful alliance between the United States and democratic powers originally banding together after World War II to rebuild Europe and protect against Russian aggression. The Trump Administration has been critical of the alliance but has failed to take into account more than the bottom line.

The Washington Post:

  • Front Page “Now on the menu: Dinner with a side of shaming”: White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a public restaurant on account of her affiliation with the Trump Administration. The public shaming of unpopular political figures is at an elevated level in American history.
  • Front Page “Separated families feel terror of the unkown”: Immigrant families separated at the US border continue to be difficult to reunite. A bad situation made much worse by increasing uncertainty and duration.
  • Front Page “If NATO, Russia clash, U.S. may stall in traffic”: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO countries have become less prepared for a large scale conflict with Russia. After the Russia/Ukraine conflict in Crimea, however, NATO countries are beginning to worry again.
