R&D’s Switchboard powers this F.A.Q.! It uses large language models so that you can ask questions about paying for school and Switchboard will find a relevant answer that’s been written and edited by New York Times journalists:
How much do I have to save? Why is it so expensive? When do I submit the FAFSA? Here are answers to common questions about paying for college. If we haven’t yet covered what you’re looking for, submit your questions here. nyti.ms/48HsHt3

In two days I'm going to be so visible, you just wait and see.

I love the era of @nytimes headlines that have an implied newsie prefacing them shouting "Extry! Extry! Read all about it!"

First day of Fall classes at @SyracuseU! I've been back for a few months @NewhouseVIS teaching grad students and military folks, but now the semester is really in swing. Exciting and humbling to be back teaching (and studying!) where I was during undergrad.

Always keep a personal archive... just tried to find some work I did for @washingtonpost on their website and it simply appears to not exist online in any form from them anymore. Thankfully I have personal backups, but the actual record of that journalism isn't readily available.

One of the videos I can't find online any longer won me and the paper a national Murrow award. I remember being bummed at the time that I didn't get to keep the actual award — it was preserved in a glass case in the newsroom — but I guess the work itself couldn't be preserved.

Newsprint fades and degrades over time too, everything is subject to entropy. But I wish we put the same effort into archiving our digital histories as our printed ones.

Before turning to photojournalism, I wanted to be a hip-hop photographer and had the opportunity to photograph some of my favorite artists. #50yearsofhiphop

Talking with friends about Mexican food in DC vs NYC, and I’m of the perhaps unpopular opinion that Mexican is one cuisine NYC is lacking in. Man I’d totally hate if a bunch of people tweeted their favorite Mexican spots at me in an attempt to prove me wrong.

The corollary here is that it’s impossible (in my experience) to have bad Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Peruvian etc in NYC. There’s an amazing and vibrant variety of central and South American cuisines. But other than birria truck and a few other choice spots, I need more Mexican!
