How is the news media covering the MAGA movement? Four journalists and a Princeton historian during the Princeton Alumni Weekly's 2025 Reunions panel delved into questions about reporting on Trump voters, whether the press should use the word “lie,” today's fragmented media landscape, and how even the most explosive investigations don't spur change the way they used to. Said Kathy Kiely '77, of the Missouri School of Journalism: “The press is doing its job, but Congress, there's no sign of vertebrate life up there. If Congress and the other institutions in our democracy aren't responding to those stories, then it is like the tree falling in the forest.” For this episode of the PAWcast, we're pleased to share a recording of the session.

When Milano Buckley '02 was born, her mother was homeless. She was living in her car, and she kept baby Milano in a basket in the backseat. What followed was an exceptionally unusual childhood that remarkably led Milano to the Lawrenceville School, and then later to Princeton. When Milano became a mother herself, she figured parenting would be a cinch compared to what she'd experienced in her own life. It turned out to be much, much harder. And now she's telling people. With a friend, Milano has started a podcast called Bare Naked Moms that seeks to tackle the challenges of parenting through honest conversations. Milano agreed to come on the PAWcast and talk about the work that she's been doing, and the part that Princeton played in her journey.

On this episode of the PAWcast, Lamberton describes his journey toward processing his father's death and discussing it with his own children, as well as the meaningful experience of attending his 25th Princeton reunion — an experience that his father, who also attended Princeton, didn't live to see.

When Cameron Hume '68 graduated from Princeton, he joined the Peace Corps and was sent to Libya, where his two-year stint was cut short by a coup d'etat. The experience launched him on a diplomacy career that has taken him to some of the world's most dangerous — and interesting — places. On the PAWcast, he spoke about two hot topics where he has expertise: prisoner exchanges and humanitarian aid. He discussed his recent work trying to get aid into Gaza, he and explained why sometimes you need to go to a place to understand its people.

Princeton's Office of Religious Life recently saw a transition in leadership, and we thought it would be an ideal time to speak on the PAWcast with the two people passing that figurative baton: The Rev. Alison Boden, who recently retired after 17 years as dean of religious life and the chapel, and the Rev. Theresa Thames, the new dean of religious life and the chapel, who has been associate dean since 2016.
This episode was recorded at Princeton University's 2024 Reunions Weekend, when PAW sponsored a panel discussion featuring five alumni experts who addressed two questions: Is student mental health in crisis, and what can be done about it?

Princeton's newest valedictorian, Genrietta Churbanova '24, is an anthropology major who spent much of her time here researching Russia-China relations in both the Russian and Chinese languages. On this episode of the PAWcast, she talks about her research, about growing up in both Moscow and Little Rock, Arkansas, and about her extracurriculars — including serving as president of the Student Society of Russian Language and Culture and opinions editor of The Daily Princetonian. Faculty have described Churbanova as a hard worker and researcher, “conscientious to a fault and deeply ethical, someone who's young, but already producing scholarship that will stand the test of time.”
John Marshall '87 and Jessica Lu '17 say climate change has a public relations problem. It's the biggest crisis of our time, but too often the people with solutions don't communicate them in a way that resonates with the public. The solution, they say, lies in what just happens to be the field where Marshall built his career and expertise: marketing. About seven years ago, he founded the Potential Energy Coalition to be “planet Earth's marketing firm” and use tools of the trade — think, surveys, data, and more data — to answer this question: How do we make people care about climate change and then act?

The 2024 Ivy League Basketball Tournament tips off March 15 at Columbia's Levien Gymnasium, and Princeton is seeded No. 1 on the men's and women's sides after both Tiger teams won regular-season championships. In advance of the big weekend in New York, PAW spoke with head coaches Carla Berube and Mitch Henderson '98 about their paths in coaching, their goals for a player's four-year experience, and some of the challenges and perks of the job.
After speaking on the PAWcast with three students about mental health at Princeton, PAW invited columnist Jess Deutsch '91 and director of Counseling and Psychological Services Calvin Chin to add their perspective on the issue. Addressing points the students raised, they discussed the pressure Princeton students feel to achieve, what services the University offers and what messages it tries to project, and what alumni can do to help.
Concerns have been rising about student mental health on college campuses over the past few years — including at Princeton. To examine this issue, PAW asked three students who have been leaders and mentors in this area to discuss what's going on: Chioma Ugwonali '24, Isaac Lunar '24, and Issa Mudashiru '25. In a wide-ranging conversation, they discussed why Princeton students feel intense pressure to achieve, what mental health resources the University makes available to them, and why they could take better care of themselves, but too often don't. “Taking care of your mental-emotional well-being is not seen as valued on this campus,“ Ugwonali said, ”and … in our culture, in our society at large.”
Jeff Burt '66, Jim Hitch '71, and Peter Pettibone '61 might know a bit more about Russia than the average Princetonian. All three headed up the Soviet and Russian practices of the international law firms where they were partners: Arnold & Porter, Baker & McKenzie, and Hogan Lovells, respectively. On Sept. 20, the same day that Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky addressed the United Nations, they discussed their thoughts on the war with fellow alumni at a Tiger Talks '66 event, and shared an important message: The threat of nuclear war is very real. On the latest PAWcast, the three shared their thoughts on the conflict, Putin's rationale, the role of NATO, how it could be affected by the recent violence in Israel and Gaza — and just how far this war could go.
Today I am very pleased to tell you: I have good news. Morality is not actually declining in our country or anywhere else. The widespread belief that morality is declining is an illusion. That's the conclusion Adam Mastroianni '14 reached in a study recently published in the journal Nature. With Harvard psychology professor Daniel Gilbert *85, Mastroianni found it just isn't true that people overall are less kind, honest, and respectful than they used to be. So why do we believe it? On the PAWcast, Mastroianni explained the psychological effects behind this phenomenon, and the danger we flirt with when we allow this belief to take hold.

In 1960, the lives of three men born to immigrant families during the Great Depression collided. A doctor helped a prisoner get paroled, and then that prisoner shot and killed a police officer. Many years later, journalist Lisa Belkin, Princeton Class of 1982, heard this story from the doctor, who had recently become her stepfather, and she had a question: How? How did one of these men become the cop, one the killer, and one the doctor? To find out, she traced the families of all three men back through four generations — through births and marriages, wars, historical events and major cultural shifts that shaped the lives of Americans in the 20th century. Then she wrote it all down and titled her new book “Genealogy of a Murder.” In it, she writes, “We have less power over who we are now than we believe, and much more power over the future than we think.”
