Parents who give up their phones during dinner will be rewarded with free meals for their kids at one U.K.-based restaurant chain. For the first week of December, Frankie & Benny’s is running its “no-phone zone” campaign in an attempt to improve family interactions at the dinner table.The promotion was announced following a study that the Italian restaurant chain ran earlier this year, where they studied the dinner table behavior of over 1,500 people.

A PERSONALESSAY
One of Margaret High’s journalism professors pulled her aside
toward the end of class at the University of North Carolina this semester and
told her to pen a narrative essay that was close to her heart.
The result covered four generations, spanned decades and involved
the KKK — and a Pulitzer Prize.
High wrote about being a fourth-generation journalist. Her
great-grandfather, Leslie Thompson, won the prize in 1953 for public service in
his crusade against the hate group for the Whiteville (North Carolina) News
Reporter, a newspaper that still belongs to her family.
High now plans to follow her great-grandfather's,
grandfather's and father's footsteps by pursuing a career in journalism. She
said her generation is much more aware of the financial constraints facing
publications like her family's, and that she's going to have to innovate.
Still, the fundamentals remain the same.
"I think that illuminating problems that exist within
public offices or within government institutions, even within private
businesses, I think that's very important," she told Poynter on Monday
after class. "I think that journalism is my way to change
the world."
