13 min - Squiz Shortcuts: The Cornell 7 case
One of the biggest stories in the US over the last few weeks has been the case of the Cornell 7, a group of college students accused of sexual assault at a prestigious American university. It’s started a huge debate - not just in the US, but across the world - about consent and college culture, and shone a spotlight on how institutions respond to cases like this. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll take a look at the allegations, why the case has struck such a nerve, and how it’s turned into a full-blown culture war in the US.

13 min - Squiz Shortcuts: What is El Niño?
You might’ve seen headlines about a super El Niño developing over the past few months. Scientists say it’s going to be a record-breaker in terms of high ocean temperatures in the Pacific, and it’s set to impact the climate, food supply and the global economy. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll take a look at what El Niño is, what it could bring and what we can expect here in Australia.
Squiz Recommends:
Reading: This article from The Conversation about what we’re already seeing around the world from this El Niño - things like changing fish migration patterns and less port activity in the Panama Canal due to its low level caused by less rainfall…
Reading: This piece from The Guardian on how climate change is playing into things and what it could mean for Australia.
