Despite all the 'likes' out there, the evidence that regular social media use is harmful to adolescents’ mental health is mounting. Then-Surgeon General Vivek Murthy penned an op-ed on the subject last year. He cited a survey that found the average teen spent nearly five hours per day on social media in 2023, and he mentioned recent research that suggested spending over three hours daily on apps doubledthe risk of poor mental health outcomes like anxiety and depression.

In September, an airplane crashed in rural Addison County, killing four people. Middlebury police were first on the scene, followed by the Addison County Sheriff’s Department and Vermont State Police. Officers found the crash site using a thermal drone. Just one year ago, that would not have been the case.

Two women with Vermont ties and personal connections to the war — one who is Palestinian and one who is Jewish — were open to sharing how it has impacted them. This piece was produced for the ear. We highly recommend listening to the audio.
