State health department raises awareness for cervical cancer in Mississippi
SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Department of Health is promoting Cervical Cancer Awareness Month to increase women’s preventive care against cervical cancer. Mississippi has the second-highest rate of cervical cancer in the U.S. The primary cause of this cancer is HPV, transmitted through sexual contact. Healthcare officials recommend HPV vaccination as the best protection, particularly effective when given in early teens or before sexual activity begins. Risk factors for cervical cancer include having sexually transmitted diseases, smoking, multiple sex partners, unprotected sex, and intercourse at an early age. More information and resources are available at the Mississippi State Department of Health website.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate has advanced legislation to reduce the state’s income tax to 2.99% by 2030 and lower the grocery tax from 7% to 5% by July 2025, aiming to provide financial relief amid bipartisan support. However, the plan includes a gas tax increase of 9 cents, funding infrastructure projects. While the Senate’s bill reduces taxes, concerns were raised about its impact on the state’s retirement system, which is only 56% funded. Opponents argued it could create future financial problems. Both the Senate and House have proposed tax reforms, which will be reconciled in conference committees.

Beyond the echo chamber: A conservative’s case for media diversity and why the tide has turned
SUMMARY: A Facebook friend suggested I should diversify my media sources, hinting that my reliance on Fox News limits my perspective. Although I lean conservative, I read various outlets, including the NYT and BBC, to avoid echo chambers. Liberals struggle to understand my support for Trump, but I have legitimate concerns about cultural and governance issues impacting future generations. Media, particularly the NYT, displays significant anti-Trump bias, yet I still seek their viewpoints. The media landscape is shifting, with conservative voices gaining prominence through podcasts and new outlets. Despite a liberal-dominated journalism industry, I maintain a balanced media diet.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State dropped to No. 24, and Ole Miss fell out of the top 25 as both teams face tough Southeastern Conference challenges. Mississippi State (19-8, 7-7 SEC) boosted its NCAA Tournament hopes with a 70-54 win over Texas A&M but lost 93-87 to Oklahoma. Ole Miss (19-8, 8-6 SEC) was removed from the rankings after a 77-72 loss at Vanderbilt.
