Why the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Should Be Your Next Adventure Companion Walkaround and POV Test Drive. If you’re looking for a versatile car that can handle both the city and the great outdoors, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium is definitely worth considering. This model is perfect for drivers who aren’t necessarily off-road enthusiasts, but want the option to explore nature from time to time.

The exterior of the Crosstrek Premium looks sleek and modern, with a frameless hexagonal grille, sculptural body lines, and a broad-shouldered stance. The Sapphire Blue Pearl paint job really pops and turns heads on the road. But it’s not just about looks – the car’s 10-percent stiffer chassis improves its dynamic performance and ride quality, making it feel more solid and confident on the road.

Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.0-liter BOXER engine with direct injection that delivers 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. The Lineartronic CVT provides smooth, quiet performance and impressive fuel efficiency, with an EPA-estimated 27 City / 34 highway / 29 combined mpg. The standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive ensures optimal traction and stability in all weather conditions, making the Crosstrek a great choice for drivers who live in areas with harsh winters or wet weather.

But what really sets the 2024 Crosstrek apart is its impressive list of features and equipment. The latest version of the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is now standard across the entire model line, providing a suite of advanced safety features that help you stay aware of your surroundings and avoid collisions. The car also comes equipped with Subaru’s Starlink 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system, which is available for the first time on the Crosstrek. This system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to stay connected and entertained while on the road.

The Crosstrek’s interior is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for passengers and cargo. The cloth driver and passenger seats are both comfortable and supportive, making long drives a breeze. Dual-zone automatic climate control helps keep everyone comfortable, while the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatbacks provide ample cargo space when you need it.

Other notable features include the X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, which gives you the confidence to take on steep terrain and tricky conditions. The SI-Drive engine performance management system allows you to choose between two different driving modes, depending on your preferences. And the combination meter with 4.2-inch color LCD provides important information at a glance.

Overall, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium is an excellent choice for drivers who want a versatile, capable, and well-equipped car that can handle whatever life throws their way. With its impressive list of features, great fuel efficiency, and comfortable ride, the Crosstrek is definitely worth considering. This model has an MRSP of $29,685.00.

OP-ED: Oregon Bill Threatens the Future of Black Owned Newspapers and Community Journalism

BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE — Nearly half of Oregon’s media outlets are now owned by national conglomerates with no lasting investment in local communities. According to an OPB analysis, Oregon has lost more than 90 news jobs (and counting) in the past five years. These were reporters, editors and photographers covering school boards, investigating corruption and telling community stories, until their jobs were cut by out-of-state corporations.

For decades, The Skanner newspaper in Portland, the Portland Observer, and the Portland Medium have served Portland, Oregon’s Black community and others with a vital purpose: to inform, uplift and empower. But legislation now moving through the Oregon Legislature threatens these community news institutions—and others like them.

As President and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), which represents more than 255 Black-owned media outlets across the United States—including historic publications like The Skanner, Portland Observer, and the Portland Medium—l believe that some Oregon lawmakers would do more harm than good for local journalism and community-owned publications they are hoping to protect.

Oregon Senate Bill 686 would require large digital platforms such as Google and Meta to pay for linking to news content. The goal is to bring desperately needed support to local newsrooms. However, the approach, while well-intentioned, puts smaller, community-based publications at a future severe financial risk.

We need to ask – will these payments paid by tech companies benefit the journalists and outlets that need them most? Nearly half of Oregon’s media outlets are now owned by national conglomerates with no lasting investment in local communities. According to an OPB analysis, Oregon has lost more than 90 news jobs (and counting) in the past five years. These were reporters, editors, and photographers covering school boards, investigating corruption, and telling community stories, until their jobs were cut by out-of-state corporations.

Legislation that sends money to these national conglomerate owners—without the right safeguards to protect independent and community-based outlets—rewards the forces that caused this inequitable crisis in the first place. A just and inclusive policy must guarantee that support flows to the front lines of local journalism and not to the boardrooms of large national media corporations.

The Black Press exists to fill in the gaps left by larger newsrooms. Our reporters are trusted messengers. Our outlets serve as forums for civic engagement, accountability and cultural pride. We also increasingly rely on our digital platforms to reach our audiences, especially younger generations—where they are.

We are fervently asking Oregon lawmakers to take a step back and engage in meaningful dialogue with those most affected: community publishers, small and independent outlets and the readers we serve. The Skanner, The Portland Observer, and The Portland Medium do not have national corporate parents or large investors. And they, like many smaller, community-trusted outlets, rely on traffic from search engines and social media to boost advertising revenue, drive subscriptions, and raise awareness.

Let’s work together to build a better future for Black-owned newspapers and community journalism that is fair, local,l and representative of all Oregonians.

Hate and Chaos Rise in Trump’s America

BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE — Tactics ranged from local policy manipulation to threats of violence. The SPLC documented bomb threats at 60 polling places in Georgia, traced to Russian email domains.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has identified 1,371 hate and antigovernment extremist groups operating across the United States in 2024. In its latest Year in Hate & Extremism report, the SPLC reveals how these groups are embedding themselves in politics and policymaking while targeting marginalized communities through intimidation, disinformation, and violence. “Extremists at all levels of government are using cruelty, chaos, and constant attacks on communities and our democracy to make us feel powerless,” said SPLC President Margaret Huang. The report outlines how hard-right groups aggressively targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives throughout 2024. Figures on the far right falsely framed DEI as a threat to white Americans, with some branding it a form of “white genocide.” After the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, a former Utah legislator blamed the incident on DEI, posting “DEI = DIE.”

Tactics ranged from local policy manipulation to threats of violence. The SPLC documented bomb threats at 60 polling places in Georgia, traced to Russian email domains. Similar threats hit Jewish institutions and Planet Fitness locations after far-right social media accounts attacked them for trans-inclusive policies. Telegram, which SPLC describes as a hub for hate groups, helped extremists cross-recruit between neo-Nazi, QAnon, and white nationalist spaces. The platform’s lax moderation allowed groups like the Terrorgram Collective—designated terrorists by the U.S. State Department—to thrive. Militia movements were also reorganized, with 50 groups documented in 2024. Many, calling themselves “minutemen,” trained in paramilitary tactics while lobbying local governments for official recognition. These groups shared personnel and ideology with white nationalist organizations.

The manosphere continued to radicalize boys and young men. The Fresh & Fit podcast, now listed as a hate group, promoted misogyny while mocking and attacking Black women. Manosphere influencers used social media algorithms to drive youth toward male-supremacy content. Turning Point USA played a key role in pushing white nationalist rhetoric into mainstream politics. Its leader Charlie Kirk claimed native-born Americans are being replaced by immigrants, while the group advised on Project 2025 and organized Trump campaign events. “We know that these groups build their power by threatening violence, capturing political parties and government, and infesting the mainstream discourse with conspiracy theories,” said Rachel Carroll Rivas, interim director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project. “By exposing the players, tactics, and code words of the hard right, we hope to dismantle their mythology and inspire people to fight back.”
