We are fast building up capacity again at Common Sense and it seems there is no better time than now. After months away, it feels like we have a mountain to climd but we are motivated to climb it because there has never been a more crucial time to have a bipartisan platform.
The world is so divided and we see the full effects of echo chambers when we look at our mainstream media. Whether it’s the encroaching war in Lebanon, the war in Palestine or the Labour Party conference, partisanship is blinding people from objective appraisals of news media.
I’m excited for Editors Desk to be back where every week, I will explore the headlines and show you the moving parts you won’t always see in the mainstream media.
The first episode back next week

Black History Month Pub Quiz
Grab your thinking caps and your favourite drink—it’s time for the Black History Month Pub Quiz! Whether you’re a trivia master or someone who just wants to learn (while pretending you already know), this night is for you. We’ll be testing your knowledge of Black culture, history, and iconic moments, from the unsung heroes to the legends we all know and love.
Expect fierce competition, laughs, and maybe even a few moments where you realize you should have paid more attention in history class. Don’t worry, though—there are no grades here, just bragging rights and some pretty cool prizes for the winning team!
Think you know your Rosa from your Rihanna? Or your MLK from your NBA MVPs? Well, step right up! And don’t worry if you don’t—this quiz will be equal parts fun and educational, so whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a good time, you’ll leave with some new knowledge and maybe a little humility.
What’s on the line? Besides eternal glory, we’ve got some sweet prizes for the top team. Losers? Well, you’ll just have to be content with the fact that you’re helping us celebrate Black History Month… and maybe brush up on your trivia game for next time.
