Vincennes University celebrates 100 years of journalism
The College of Social Science, Performing Arts, and Communication is commemorating the occasion by having the VU Communication Department host an event called Honoring a Century of Journalism. The event will be held at 11:45 a.m. on February 17 in the Shake Leaning Resource Center Café.
The event will highlight the history of Vincennes University's award-winning student newspaper, The Trailblazer, and include the new logo for the newspaper designed by VU students. The school hopes the event will be a time for students, faculty, staff, alumni, prospective students, and community members to celebrate the program's legacy.

'For a century, Vincennes University has been at the forefront of journalism education,' VU Assistant Professor of Journalism Jenny McNeece said. 'Our students learn the foundational skills of reporting, writing, and photography while gaining hands-on experience by contributing to a publication that serves as a voice for the University and the University Community.'
VU students who study in these programs can get real-world experience at The Trailblazer as early as the first semester. VU also offers these students a newly redesigned Journalism Lab, and access to technology like Mac computers, the Adobe Creative Suite software, and DSLR cameras. The Trailblazer has transitioned with modern times from a print publication distributed every three weeks to an online newspaper that is regularly updated and a special print edition on the way. VU prides its programs on being able to send its students out ready for careers in digital media, newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets. The courses teach interviewing, storytelling, editing, design, photography, and advertising.
All are encouraged to help Vincennes University celebrate and attend the Honoring a Century of Journalism event.

Veteran analyst spots unexpected star in Apple's earnings report
Apple (AAPL) just crushed it with its Q3 numbers. However, beyond the headline glow, Wedbush's Dan Ives spotted something everyone else might be missing. It wasn't just about iPhone or AI, but more about Apple's future, and the high-stakes it's involved in at this time. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter In the next few quarters, we might see that tailwind play out even more, and nudge the Cupertino giant back in Wall Street's good graces, potentially kickstarting a powerful rally. Image source:Apple posted a remarkably strong quarterly report, posting record Q3 sales of $94.04 billion, up 10% year-over-year. Similarly, its diluted EPS of $1.57 represented an eye-catching 12% gain. Also, net income came in at a superb $23.43 billion, highlighting operational strength, despite external cost pressures. Related: Morgan Stanley slaps eye-popping price target on Nvidia stock Services revenue came in at an all-time high of $27.42 billion, jumping 13% year-over-year. iPhone sales rose 13.5% to $44.58 billion, led by demand resilience, while marking a major milestone in the shipment of Apple's three billionth iPhone. Mac sales bounced 15% to $8.05 billion, somewhat offsetting the 8% drop in iPad revenue, which landed at $6.58 billion. Additionally, wearables, home, and accessories added $7.4 billion to the top line. Gross margin surged to 46.5%, despite the $800 million tariff-related hit, underscoring robust leverage across hardware and services. Regional performance was a critical driver, with revenue in Greater China rising 4%, reflecting sequential improvement. Looking ahead, Apple expects to post mid-to-high single-digit top-line growth in Q4, with services projected to maintain its 13% clip. Gross margin guidance is impeccable, coming in between 46% and 47%, even with Apple preparing for another $1.1 billion in tariff impact. Nevertheless, Apple enters the back half of FY2025 with healthy momentum and multiple growth catalysts. Following Apple's strong Q3 earnings print, Wedbush didn't hold back in saying that the iPhone beat in China was "the star of the show." Analyst Daniel Ives hailed the results as "much better than expected," with Apple posting comfortable beats across both lines on the back of standout strength in iPhone and services. Related: Veteran analyst drops bold price target on Palantir stock ahead of earnings What stood out was the rebound in Greater China. Apple reported $15.37 billion in sales from the region, up 4% year-over-year, its first return to positive expansion in the past several quarters. "This was a major step in the right direction for Cook and Cupertino," Ives said, noting that the Chinese performance blew past Wedbush and Street expectations. Government stimulus also helped drive the surprise upside, especially in iPhone sales, which leapt to $44.58 billion globally, smashing the $40.29 billion estimate. On top of that, Wedbush reaffirmed its Outperform rating and $270 price target. Still, Ives struck a cautionary note on AI. He's warned that Apple must move much quicker in the"4th Industrial Revolution," suggesting that embracing external partnerships with the likes of Perplexity could help close out the innovation gap. Nevertheless, Wedbush's broader thesis is that Apple remains a durable tech leader with plenty of room to reaccelerate. Tim Cook leaned in bullishly as he addressed the China question in Apple's Q3 earnings call. Cook acknowledged a 2% year-over-year drop in the quarter but said that, excluding foreign exchange headwinds, results were mostly flat. Also, he noted tremendous progress compared to the December quarter, when revenue had dropped 11%. Cook credited recent stimulus support. "I do think the subsidies played a favorable impact on the results." However, in complementing Apple's deeper structural wins, he highlighted product momentum, noting that Macs, iPads, and Apple Watches draw in mostly first-time buyers. Related: Morgan Stanley names tech stock winner from One Big Beautiful Bill Act The iPhone is holding firm, too. "iPhone was the top two models in urban China, and iPad was the top two tablets in urban China," Cook said. To support that argument, research from Canalysshows that Apple may be turning a corner in China. iPhone shipments surged 4% last quarter, clocking its first gain since late 2023, even as overall smartphone sales slipped. On AI, Apple put the spotlight on delivery. "We built our own highly capable foundation models," Cook said, highlighting features like Genmoji, Image Wand, and Writing Tools now live across multiple languages, backed by strong privacy. As for Siri's big upgrade? It's still cooking. "We need more time," Cook admitted. Siri delays stoke concern, but Apple's playing a longer AI game Tim Cook didn't sugarcoat the timeline on Siri, especially as Apple looks to meet a lofty quality bar. Investor sentiment surrounding the delay has been mostly mixed over the past several months. Citi warns that delays in AI-Siri integration could negatively impact iPhone upgrade intent while trimming near-term projections. UBS also flagged 2025 as light on transformational AI growth unless Siri delivers. Nevertheless, if Apple nails execution, some experts feel the Siri relaunch will be a great AI growth catalyst for the iPhone and services stack. A big part of Apple's competitive edge is its privacy-first posture, which should resonate with consumers wary of cloud-based assistants. There's also strategic movement. Apple is looking to explore external model integrations with ChatGPT or Claude to boost Siri's capabilities.

Apple stock rises after the company beat Q3 expectations on strong iPhone sales
Apple (AAPL) stock rose on Friday after the company reported third quarter earnings that beat on the top and bottom lines, thanks to better-than-anticipated iPhone sales. 'Today Apple is proud to report a June quarter revenue record with double-digit growth in iPhone, Mac, and Services and growth around the world, in every geographic segment,' CEO Tim Cook said in a statement Thursday. Shares in the tech giant were up 1.8% in premarket trading following the release. For the third quarter, Apple saw earnings per share (EPS) of $1.57 on revenue of $94 billion. Wall Street was anticipating EPS of $1.43 on revenue of $89.22 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. The company saw EPS of $1.40 and revenue of $85.7 billion in the same quarter last year. Apple's China sales hit $15.3 billion. Wall Street was expecting $15.1 billion. Apple's iPhone revenue topped out at $44 billion versus expectations of $39.8 billion. Services revenue came in at $27.4 billion. Wall Street was looking for $26.8 billion. Mac revenue topped out at $8 billion, but iPad and Wearables revenue fell year over year to $6.5 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively. Apple is dealing with a handful of major issues. President Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on iPhones unless Apple begins producing them in the US. The company could also have to deal with the impact of Google's antitrust lawsuit on the company's $20 billion per year agreement to use Google Search as the default option in the Safari browser and Siri. Read more: Live coverage of corporate earnings Revenue from that deal falls under Apple's Services segment. The federal judge overseeing Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) antitrust case is expected to rule on the "remedies" phase of the trial, which will spell out what the company has to do to correct its monopolistic behavior, in August. If the judge requires Google to abandon its exclusivity deals, it would put a $20 billion hole in Apple's Services business. Apple is also facing continuing criticism for its slow AI rollout. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has called for the company to purchase AI startup Perplexity AI ( "It's time for Cook and Cupertino to face the new reality of this quickly morphing AI driven tech landscape ... because if they do not change it will be a historic strategic black eye for Apple, in our view," Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote in an investor note ahead of earnings. BofA's Wamsi Mohan offered a similar critique of the company's AI moves in an investor note Monday, saying that while Apple usually slowplays rolling out new technologies, the fast pace of AI innovation could leave it behind user expectations. "Each keynote that goes by with Siri still doing relatively basic things while competitors' assistants converse and create content is a hit to Apple's reputation for innovation," Mohan Daniel Howley at dhowley@ Follow him on X/Twitter at @DanielHowley.
