 ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us for a thought provoking conversation with Larry Edelman, who runs The Boston Globe’s flagship business newsletter, Trendlines, and digital producer Dana Gerber as they break down President Trump’s pressure campaign on higher education, what his deals with colleges and universities have entailed, and what the concessions mean for academia as a whole. Stay tuned at the end for a question-and-answer session, and don’t forget to read up on past Trendlines newsletters, available on Globe.com/Trendlines. Â
ABOUT TRENDLINES
Trendlines is a twice-weekly newsletter for readers who want smart, clear-eyed reporting on the forces shaping the Massachusetts and national economies. It serves business leaders, policymakers, academics, and anyone trying to make sense of what’s next—connecting local developments to broader economic trends, from trade policy and research funding to labor markets and consumer behavior. The goal is to go beyond headlines to explain what’s changing, why it matters, and who stands to gain or lose.
Larry Edelman writes about local business, the economy, and financial markets, leaning on sources and knowledge developed over four decades in Boston and New York to break news and put the biggest stories into context. His twice-weekly Trendlines newsletter goes to more than 150,000 email subscribers.
Before starting his column, Larry was the Globe’s deputy managing editor for local, regional, and business news.
Dana Gerber is the Business Producer for the Boston Globe, where she helps oversee the section's digital presence and covers a range of topics — from developments in the local media landscape, to Gen Z workplace attitudes, to the financial toll of Long COVID, to the joys of Allston Christmas.
As the section producer, she refines Business content for optimal digital reach, promotes it on all social platforms, and works with reporters and editors to devise innovative presentation strategies.
