guardian.co.uk — I am 17 years old and I am a feminist. I believe in gender equality, and am under no illusion about how far we are from achieving it. Identifying as a feminist has become particularly important to me since a school trip I took to Cambridge last year.

guardian.co.uk — Newspaper publishers beleaguered by digital developments for the past decade are starting to believe that business models to support digital journalism have emerged. Their increasing optimism is driven by a number of factors: the growing revenue from paywalls and digital apps for tablets and smartphones, as well as a more favourable shift in public attitudes towards paying for online news.

guardian.co.uk — With the Baccalauréat exam season under way in France amid endless media reports on stress, cheating and unbearable pressure, one mother who seemingly wanted to ensure the best result for her child has been questioned by police after disguising herself as her daughter in order to sit an English exam in her place.

guardian.co.uk — I receive an awful lot of letters from Michael Gove these days. Asking me this. Demanding that. Wanting a clarification on the other. If I were him, I would focus on the day job. There is a looming crisis in primary school places. Junior apprenticeship numbers are collapsing.

guardian.co.uk — Seeing the British establishment struggle with the financial sector is like watching an alcoholic who still resists the idea that something drastic needs to happen for him to turn his life around. Until 2008 there was denial over what finance had become.

guardian.co.uk — If nothing else, it was important because it actually happened: yesterday saw the first debate in the House of Commons on arts and culture in over five years, brought in opposition time by the shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman. The reality, though, fell desperately short of expectation.

guardian.co.uk — The Daily Mail has apologised and agreed to pay £125,000 in libel damages to a TV psychic it falsely accused of using a hidden earpiece to scam a theatre audience.

guardian.co.uk — Young people are more willing to pay for online news than any other age group, according to a major study of internet habits. The survey of 11,000 internet users in nine countries including the UK found that 25- to 34-year-olds are twice as likely to part with their cash for digital news than older readers.

guardian.co.uk — It's not the most important story of the day, but it's easily the most fun - the Sun's account of what happened when George Osborne addressed the G8. MUSIC fan Barack Obama kept getting George Osborne's name wrong after mixing him up with one of his favourite soul stars - Jeffrey Osborne.

guardian.co.uk — As the polished copper petals of Thomas Heatherwick's Olympic cauldron rose up to form a striking flaming dandelion last July, gasps of awe and wonder echoed around the world at the structure's startling originality. In the offices of the New York design studio Atopia, however, there were gasps of a different kind.

guardian.co.uk — The fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have been convicted of tax evasion after being found guilty of failing to declare €1bn (£850m) in income. A court in Milan sentenced them both to one year and eight months in jail.

guardian.co.uk — Oxfam has urged ministers to appoint an official poverty tsar who would champion efforts to combat low wages, poor life expectancy and endemic deprivation in some of Scotland's poorest neighbourhoods. The charity has accused ministers in successive Scottish and UK governments of failing to combat poverty effectively by putting wealth-creation, consumption and economic growth ahead of social equality.

guardian.co.uk — In or around 1978, America's character changed. For almost half a century, the United States had been a relatively egalitarian, secure, middle-class democracy, with structures in place that supported the aspirations of ordinary people. You might call it the period of the Roosevelt Republic.

Photograph: Craig Blankenhorn/AP In cinema and on stage, James Gandolfini was testament to the powers of the Actors Studio and of the Italian-American performance tradition. On Broadway and in a laudable string of film credits that included Get Shorty and True Romance, the man breathed life into unglamorous men the way only a true character actor can.
