The new entity, called the McClatchy Media Company, now boasts a collective audience of more than 100 million unique visitors a month, fusing a local news chain that has won more than 50 Pulitzer Prizes with a line of lifestyle and entertainment magazines.
The article from The Charlotte Observer discusses the ongoing debate over the use of standardized tests like the SAT and ACT in college admissions.

However, there's a counterargument suggesting that these tests can still provide valuable information about a student's potential for college success, particularly when used in conjunction with other application materials. The piece also touches on recent moves by states like Florida and Georgia to require test scores again, reflecting a broader national conversation about equity, merit, and the role of standardized testing in education.
