MDJ Script/ Top Stories for May 28th Publish Date:  May 28th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, May 28th and Happy Birthday to Gladys Knight I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Mableton Payout to Cobb Presents 'Serious Financial Challenge' Early Voting Underway for Ga. Commission Overseeing Utilities KSU Researchers Develop Phone Application to Combat Elderly Loneliness All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: Mableton Payout to Cobb Presents 'Serious Financial Challenge' Mableton is considering a $9.5 million payment to Cobb County for one year of police and transportation services, a move Mayor Michael Owens calls a "serious financial challenge." The deal, part of an intergovernmental agreement, aims to ensure public safety while avoiding state sanctions. Mableton, exiting its transitional phase, currently offers limited services and has operated without property taxes, relying on other fees. To fund services, the city may establish a special services district. Negotiations follow Cobb’s initial $23 million service bill, which nearly doubled Mableton’s proposed budget. Final votes on the agreement are expected this week. STORY 2: Early Voting Underway for Ga. Commission Overseeing Utilities Early voting has begun in Cobb County and across Georgia for the June 17 special primaries to fill two seats on the Public Service Commission (PSC), which regulates utilities like electric and natural gas. The PSC oversees rate approvals, including Georgia Power's recent agreement to freeze base rates for three years. Incumbents Tim Echols (District 2) and Fitz Johnson (District 3) are on the ballot, with Echols facing a GOP challenger and Johnson unopposed. Early voting runs through June 13 at four Cobb locations, with low turnout expected initially but likely increasing closer to Election Day. STORY 3: KSU Researchers Develop Phone Application to Combat Elderly Loneliness Kennesaw State University researchers are developing Sandrapp, an AI-powered tool to combat chronic loneliness among older adults, which can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Unlike traditional social platforms, Sandrapp focuses on fostering real-life connections by matching users with individuals who share similar values and experiences. Led by an interdisciplinary team, the app prioritizes usability and user needs, gathering insights from older adults and families. Sandrapp aims to enable meaningful meetups, not replace them, while exploring subtle monitoring technologies for reassurance. The project emphasizes rebuilding social support networks to improve mental and physical health. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

STORY 5: Local Teams Compete in National High School Quiz Competition The 2025 High School National Championship Tournament brought 336 quiz bowl teams from across the U.S. and beyond to Atlanta, including Marietta’s The Walker School and The Stonehaven School. Stonehaven, led by captain Samuel Marks, finished with a 3-7 record. Walker, coached by Michael Arjona and others, excelled with a 7-3 record in preliminaries, advancing to playoffs and finishing 13th overall. Karthik Jayaram earned All-Star honors for his standout performance, answering 94 tossup questions. The tournament champion was Livingston High School’s A team from New Jersey. Break: STORY 6: Cobb Police Search for Suspect in Monday Hit-and-Run on I-285 Cobb County police are searching for a suspect in a hit-and-run crash on I-285 near the I-75 interchange. Around 11:19 a.m. Monday, a dark-colored sedan, possibly a Kia, changed lanes and may have collided with a white 1996 GMC Safari. The GMC lost control, hitting the median, while the sedan fled. The GMC driver, a 57-year-old Austell man, suffered serious injuries, and a 22-year-old passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries; both were hospitalized. Police urge anyone with information to contact the STEP Unit at 770-499-3987. STORY 7: Historical Society to Host Black Genealogy Workshop The Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society will host a genealogy workshop on June 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the William Root House in Marietta. Led by Christopher Smothers, founder of Unearthing Your Roots Inc., the workshop will explore resources like Census and Probate Records for genealogical research. Smothers will also share a list of formerly enslaved individuals from Cobb County probate records. Tickets are $15 and must be purchased online in advance, as space is limited.

Fred Cook kicks off a timely conversation on the future of public relations—through the lens of generational differences and shared experiences. The episode unpacks key insights from the USC Center for PR's 2025 Global Communication Report: Mind The Gap, which examines how four major forces—AI, hybrid work, media evolution, and polarization—are reshaping the industry and impacting the four generations working within it.Moderated by Barby K. Siegel, Global CEO of Zeno Group, the panel explores questions like:How do different generations view AI's role in the future of PR?What does true collaboration across age groups look like?How can organizations foster flexibility without sacrificing culture?How should communicators approach purpose-driven work amid growing polarization and risk aversion?Key Discussion Highlights:AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement: AI is seen as a career-enhancing tool that frees up time for creativity and strategic thinking — but panelists caution against using it as a crutch, emphasizing the need to maintain strong writing and critical thinking skills.Hybrid Work Expectations: Younger generations value autonomy and flexibility, with many willing to take pay cuts for remote options. But panelists stress that trust, clear expectations, and intentional relationship-building remain critical in hybrid settings.Media Consumption Gaps: Gen Z leans into social and influencer-driven media, while older generations still prioritize traditional outlets like The New York Times and CNN. The takeaway? Successful communicators must be media-fluid and audience-focused.The Purpose Divide: Younger employees (especially Gen Z) expect companies to take stands on social issues, even as overall industry willingness to engage has dropped sharply—from 89% in 2023 to 52% in 2025.Soft Skills Still Reign: From phone calls to peer reviews, interpersonal communication, empathy, and networking remain essential soft skills for all generations.Call for Collaboration: Panelists advocate for breaking down hierarchies by bringing younger professionals into leadership conversations early and often. Generational gaps should be "galvanized," not just "minded."Reports: 2025 Global Communication Report: https://annenberg.usc.edu/research/center-public-relations/global-communication-reportFeaturing:    •    Fred Cook (USC Annenberg Center for PR)    •    Kelly McGinnis (Levi Strauss & Co.)    •    Sona Iliffe-Moon (Yahoo)    •    Bill Imada (IW Group)    •    Kyndall L.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's how large the Steelers need at cornerback is entering the 2025 NFL Draft. Through free agency, Omar Khan has taken two steps to fill in the gaps left behind when Cam Sutton and Donte Jackson departed, bringing in veteran former Philadelphia Eagles starting outside cornerback Darius Slay and ex-New York Jets two-way corner and special teamer Brandin Echols. So Echols can replace Sutton, Slay can replace Jackson, and call it day? Probably not. Slay is 34 and is a short-term solution. Echols, while projects to be a better fit inside, struggled while playing outside cornerback with the Jets. The stop-gap signings will give incumbent depth options like Cory Trice and Beanie Bishop another chance to win a job.  But there's no reason they couldn't add a rookie to that mix as well, especially if someone like Michigan's Will Johnson falls to them. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
