Gen Z turning to TikTok as primary source of news and opinion, study shows
Still reading the news? Okay, Boomer. New research shows that Gen Zers trying to stay informed prefer to have others digest the daily headlines first — and then not only deliver the highlights, but help them figure out what to think, too. A study conducted by Google shows younger newshounds are relying on social media posts from their favorite influencers — and the opinions of the masses in the comment sections — versus the usual range of traditional sources, Business Insider reported. The findings were announced on the heels of several studies showing that Gen Z — along with an increasing number of older Americans — are...

The MTA’s top honcho on Tuesday said he’s in the dark about talks between Gov.

Lowering the toll to drive into Manhattan below 60th Street would...

Improved Knicks staring down even tougher Eastern Conference gauntlet after NBA free agency
The Knicks have improved themselves this offseason. There’s no debating that. They added an elite 3-and-D wing in Mikal Bridges while keeping their other standout wing, OG Anunoby, to pair with star guard Jalen Brunson. The problem has nothing to do with the projected roster, though there is now a hole behind Mitchell Robinson at center in the wake of Isaiah Hartenstein departing for the Thunder, and dwindling options left on the free-agent market. The issue is the rest of the Eastern Conference. It has gotten better at the top. The 76ers added nine-time All-Star Paul George — giving themselves a big three...

Former NY authority chief sought kickbacks from ‘predatory’ program meant to help disadvantaged people set up cannabis shops: suit
A former state authority head tried to score kickbacks as part of a disastrous “predatory” program meant to help disadvantaged people set up cannabis shops, a new lawsuit alleges.
