CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / November 16, 2025 / As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, a pivotal new op-ed and accompanying documentary invite journalists to rethink the legacy, challenges, and future of America’s libraries. With book bans, curriculum disputes, and debates over representation dominating the headlines, these projects illuminate how Black librarians have been-and remain-key defenders of knowledge and guardians of community memory.

Planning Committee of the American Heritage Discussion Group 1953-1954 courtesy of Digital NC

Published in Common Dreams, the editorial "The Librarian’s Call: Documenting Is Resistance" arrives at a time when the mission and values of libraries are under public scrutiny. The op-ed goes beyond commemoration to raise the alarm: community-led documentation is now a frontline defense against the erasure of diverse histories and the silencing of marginalized voices-a theme as crucial today as at any point in America’s long history.

This timely conversation continues in the soon-to-be-released documentary, "Are You a Librarian: Black Librarians and Freedom Through Literacy." Featuring over sixty in-depth interviews and exclusive archival discoveries, the film spans from small-town branches to presidential libraries, showcasing how Black librarians have historically ensured that the promise of the public library-access, truth, and education for all-becomes a reality, even in the face of discrimination and censorship. Their stories reveal how the fight to preserve and share untold narratives is central to both past and future milestones in American librarianship.

Why Cover This For the America 250?

• The rise of book challenges and censorship makes the library’s historic role urgent news.

• Black librarians’ stories offer underreported, meaningful perspectives on the America 250’s legacy and its next century.

• Uniquely connects the association’s milestone moment with contemporary calls to action to preserve knowledge, foster inclusion, and protect intellectual freedom.

About the Projects:
"The Librarian’s Call: Documenting Is Resistance" is available via Common Dreams.
"Are You a Librarian: The Untold Story of Black Librarians" is a new feature documentary releasing in 2026 and timed to coincide with the America 250’s 150th anniversary and related public programs.

POST FALLS, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / Trustpoint Xposure’s early leadership in AEO equips clients with a major competitve advantage in an increasingly AI-driven landscape. AI assistants are now reshaping how audiences discover, research, and evaluate brands. Trustpoint Xposure, known for its relentless pursuit of leading the media industry in tech, announced today that it has become the first media strategy and PR agency to formally integrate Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) into its end-to-end communications practice. This milestone positions the agency as a pioneer in helping clients appear more accurately and consistently inside AI-generated answers.

Answer Engine Optimization refers to structuring content so large language models-ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and others-can parse, interpret, and cite brand information with greater precision. AEO differs from SEO by focusing on machine readability, factual density, and semantic clarity rather than keyword rankings or backlinks. In fact, SEO companies are now scrambling to understand the new integration. The challenge is, there are only a small few who know how it works, and even less who can teach it.

Defining AEO for the PR and Media World

AI-powered discovery now dominates early-stage research. Whether users ask:

• "What is the best platform for…?"

• "Compare the leading companies in…"

• "Who are the top providers of…?"

AI systems assemble answers from multiple sources. Without AEO, brands may be inconsistently represented, misclassified, or omitted entirely.

Through its AEO-aligned framework, Trustpoint Xposure ensures brand content is properly indexed, contextualized, and surfaced across answer engines.

"Traditional firms simply don’t yet understand the tidal shift that’s happening right now begind the scenes. AEO is the missing link between PR and AI-driven discovery," said David Wilder, Founder & CEO of Trustpoint Xposure. "Our clients not only want their stories represented accurately by journalists, they want to be recognized at the go-to authority by AI systems. Our job is to make both happen."

Why PR Needs AEO

Traditional media placement does not guarantee AI discovery.

Today’s LLMs prioritize:

• Clarity of definitions

• Consistent terminology

• Structured narrative patterns

• Factual statements supported by recognizable entities

AEO addresses all of these, strengthening visibility across both human and machine audiences.

How Trustpoint Xposure Integrates AEO Into Its Work

Trustpoint’s AEO-based services include:

• AI-structured press releases

• Machine-readable executive bios

• Entity-aligned messaging architectures

• Knowledge graph optimization

• AI-ready editorial frameworks

• Semantic and factual consistency mapping

This dual-layer editorial process ensures high journalistic quality while enabling maximum AI retrievability.

AEO: The New Standard in Communications

Wilder added, "We’re helping our clients get ahead of the curve. In the next 12-18 months, AEO will become the baseline expectation for brands, just like SEO became expected for websites. "

Brands and communications teams looking to modernize their PR strategy for the AI era can contact Trustpoint Xposure at www.trustpointxposure.com.

About Trustpoint Xposure

Trustpoint Xposure is the first agency to formally integrate Answer Engine Optimization into its PR and media strategy practice. Through AI-structured writing, strategic narrative design, and content engineering, Trustpoint ensures brands achieve consistent, authoritative visibility across answer engines, AI assistants, and digital media ecosystems.

SHANGHAI, CHINA / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / The Chinese capital market will become more and more open to the outside world, as the China Securities Regulatory Commission will steadily expand high-level institutional opening-up to create a favorable investment environment for international investors, according to the watchdog’s vice chairman.

The CSRC will continue to promote the opening up of the Chinese capital market in terms of marketization, rule of law, and internationalization, Li Ming said at the 2025 Shanghai Stock Exchange Global Investors Conference on November 12.

The CSRC will improve the qualified foreign investor system, steadily and prudently expand the interconnection mechanisms between onshore and offshore stock markets, accelerate the construction of world-class stock exchanges, enrich cross-border investment products, and promote the inclusion of more futures and options varieties in the scope of the opening-up, Li noted.

Moreover, the CSRC will enhance the convenience for foreign institutions to participate in the Chinese capital market, strengthen the construction of regulatory and risk prevention capacity in the open environment, deepen cross-border regulatory and law enforcement work, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of all investors, he added.

"China’s economy is at a critical stage in a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation," Qiu Yong, chairman of the SSE, said at the conference. "We sincerely invite global investors to pay active attention to and continuously invest in Chinese assets."

Foreign capital is actively investing in China’s advanced manufacturing, biomedicine, and other advantageous industries and paying more and more attention to investment opportunities in the country, according to Qian Jing, chief executive officer of Morgan Stanley Securities China.

China has become one of the most important markets in Temasek’s international investment portfolio, said Wu Yibing, chairman of Temasek China. As a long-term investor, Temasek has always kept an eye on the structural transformation process and policy orientation of the Chinese economy, he added.

"We will continue to build a resilient and forward-looking investment portfolio in China by investing long-term, patient, and value capital, and focus on opportunities that are in line with investment trends," Wu pointed out.

"Mergers and acquisitions and reorganizations have brought new investment opportunities to international investors," said Wang Bo, vice general manager of the SSE, adding that technology companies listed on the SSE’s Star Market will become a golden track for sharing the dividends of China’s technological innovation with international investors.

Foreign investors can proactively invest in traditional Chinese mainland-listed firms focused on transformation to seize the opportunities brought by their future revaluation, Wang noted.

Overseas investors can also invest in industry leaders at the early stage of industrial integration, obtaining long-term stable investment returns through the continuous enhancement of their core competitiveness, he added.

Chinese stocks are cheap and attractive enough, said Wong Kok Hoi, founder, chairman, and chief strategy officer of APS Asset Management, adding that he remains bullish on the Chinese capital market.

China’s economic development and technological progress will be driven by manufacturing, innovation, and talent, he predicted.

Whistleblower urges reporters and policymakers to examine public RICO filings citing HR 1049’s findings and a Treasury-SEC memo questioning the 2013 PREPA bond issuance.

MURRIETA, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / Federal whistleblower Richard R. Lawless has submitted new filings highlighting federal documents that do not appear to have been referenced during the 2016 PROMESA hearings, despite containing substantial risk information relevant to Puerto Rico’s financial collapse. These materials, incorporated into a public set of civil RICO allegations now available on the PROMESA Title III docket, raise significant questions for policymakers, investors, and financial analysts.

Central to the filings are two key documents:

1. HR 1049 (2015 House Natural Resources Committee Report)
The report – an official congressional document – described Puerto Rico’s electric utility finances citing refinancing cycles, distressed revenue structures, and internal financial warnings that predated PROMESA.

2. A 22-Page Treasury-SEC Email from 2013
Authored within the Treasury Department and shared with the SEC, the communication raised internal concerns that the 2013 PREPA bond issuance may not have fully reflected known risk factors. These included uncollectible receivables, revenue instability, and questions regarding the clarity of the offering materials. The 2013 bond issue later defaulted within approximately two years.

A Key Question Raised in the Filings

"If federal agencies possessed these documents prior to the PROMESA hearings, why were they not presented-and would the PROMESA vote have proceeded as it did if they had been?"

Lawless emphasized that the filings do not assert conclusions but call for independent examination by oversight bodies.
"Given the scale of the documents now in the public domain, I strongly encourage reporters, policymakers, and analysts to review the docketed RICO materials themselves," Lawless said. "Every referenced document is publicly accessible."

Potential Impact Identified by Analysts

Analysts reviewing the filings note that:

HR 1049’s language does not appear in public PROMESA hearing transcripts;

The Treasury-SEC memo does not appear in the legislative record;

Both documents contain information that rating agencies, insurers, and institutional investors may have considered material;

Access to these documents could have influenced congressional debate and legislative outcomes.

Invitation for Review

The full RICO filings – including exhibits, timelines, and referenced federal documents – are available on the public docket. Lawless stated that transparency and independent verification are essential given the legislative importance of PROMESA and the scale of the financial losses involved.

No federal agency referenced in the filings has issued public comment on the historical handling of these documents.

Company Reports Revenues of $45.3 million, a 4.0% Year-Over-Year Increase, Outpacing Election-Year Comparison

Broadcast Revenues Increase to $36.6 Million, a 10.1% Increase Year-Over-Year

Newsmax Remains the Fourth Highest-Rated Cable News Channel With Over 28 Million Quarterly Viewers

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / November 13, 2025 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) ("Newsmax" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Management Commentary

"We are pleased to announce another strong quarter that shows the power and consistency of our business, even in a non-election year when news audiences and advertising demand across the industry typically soften," said Christopher Ruddy, Chief Executive Officer of Newsmax. "Our performance this quarter reflects the strength of our diversified revenue model, the growing reach of our cable and FAST channels and the continued engagement of audiences across all of our platforms."

Ruddy continued, "Since going public, we have focused on building a company positioned for sustainable, long-term growth. Our strong balance sheet and access to the public markets give us the flexibility to invest strategically, expand our distribution and continue delivering compelling content that resonates with viewers. We remain focused on sustainable, long-term growth and on delivering consistent value for our shareholders."

Third Quarter 2025 Business and Operational Highlights

• Newsmax has significantly expanded its distribution reach through multiple strategic initiatives including:

  • Secured distribution agreement with a leading hospitality provider, making Newsmax available in 900+ hotels and 300,000 hotel rooms nationwide.

  • Partnered with Curb to bring Newsmax programming to the Taxi TV platform, reaching over 15,000 screens across 65 U.S. markets generating 2.3 billion annual impressions.

  • Achieved major international expansion through partnership with Trump Media & Technology Group, making Newsmax available globally on Truth+ streaming platform across multiple devices and connected TV apps.

  • Extended multi-year carriage partnership with Fubo, launching Newsmax en Español on Fubo’s Latino plan and Latino Plus add-on package.

  • Expanded international news coverage with Carl Higbie broadcasting live from Israel, providing comprehensive coverage and exclusive interviews including with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

• Implemented strategic cryptocurrency purchase plan of up to $5 million to acquire Bitcoin and Trump Coin over the next 12 months, positioning Newsmax to be the first NYSE company to purchase Trump Coin.

• Partnered with Veritone to modernize newsroom operations and unlock revenue potential from Newsmax’s extensive 20-year content archive through AI-powered Digital Media Hub technology.

• Appointed David Gandler, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FuboTV, to the Board of Directors, bringing extensive streaming and media industry expertise.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Newsmax reported total quarterly revenues of $45.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, representing a 4.0% year-over-year increase.

  • Total Broadcasting revenues grew 10.1% year-over-year to $36.6 million for the third quarter of 2025, underscoring continued growth even in a non-election year. This was driven by affiliate fee revenue growth, higher ratings and pricing for broadcasting ad revenue and an increase in Newsmax+ subscribers.

  • Advertising Revenues decreased slightly by 1.6% year-over-year to $27.6 million due to a non-election year comparison period.

  • Affiliate Revenues increased 22.3% year-over-year to $8.1 million driven by new contractual relationships as well as rate increases that went into effect in 2025.

  • Subscription Revenues of $6.9 million were flat year-over-year, driven by an increase in Newsmax+ subscribers, offset by reductions in publication subscriptions due to election cycle cyclicality.

  • Product Sales Revenues increased 1.8% year-over-year to $1.5 million.

• Newsmax reported a quarterly Net Loss of $(4.1) million as compared to a Net Loss of $(9.8) million reported in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher production and programming investments, public company and stock-based compensation costs, offset by reduced legal expenses and higher broadcast revenues.

• Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA was $(1.8) million, a decrease of $4.4 million from the amount reported in the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher production and programming expenses and increased personnel and public company costs associated with the Company’s continued expansion. (See reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA below).

• The Company ended the quarter with $130.4 million in Cash and short-term investments. Cash and Cash Equivalents were $14.2 million and short-term investments were $116.2 million.

Newsmax is reiterating its previously issued full-year 2025 revenue guidance of $180 million to $190 million.

"Our third quarter results highlight the resilience and momentum of our business," commented Darryle Burnham, Chief Financial Officer. "By expanding our global distribution footprint and modernizing our content monetization strategy, we are laying the foundation for sustainable, long-term growth. We are encouraged by the strong performance we are seeing early in the fourth quarter and remain confident in our previously disclosed full-year revenue guidance. Supported by a solid balance sheet, we continue to invest in strategic opportunities that enhance our reach, strengthen our financial profile and drive shareholder value."

USE AND DEFINITION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains a financial measure that has not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). This financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP financial measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA[1] is defined as revenues less cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses and does not include depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, impairment charges, unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, other corporate matters (consisting primarily of certain litigation expenses, and related fees, for specific legal proceedings that the Company has determined are infrequent and unusual in terms of their magnitude), other, net, and income tax expense.

[1] The Company compensates for limitations of the adjusted EBITDA measure by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA on page 13.
