As the year comes to a close, education leaders are taking stock of what’s shifted, and what’s likely to shape the conversation in 2026. This week, we’re releasing the third edition of Ed5 Chronicles, our newsletter designed to track how education narratives are evolving across media coverage, research findings, and policy developments. The latest issue captures the themes gaining momentum as reporters, policymakers, and practitioners look ahead, from ongoing accountability debates and workforce pressures to the growing role of data, safety, and technology in schools.

For communications and PR teams, these signals matter. Understanding which stories are resonating now — and how they’re being framed — helps inform smarter messaging, proactive planning, and more effective thought leadership in the year ahead. Ed5 Chronicles was developed to support that work, surfacing the trends and storylines that can help education organizations anticipate media interest, refine their narratives, and enter 2026 with greater clarity and confidence.
