An Iowa steel plant tops NewsNation's fifteen-upload week

Mesabi Metallics will build the plant, and a debate over student loans for humanities degrees follows close behind.

Fifteen uploads, one steel mill. NewsNation's busiest new video is President Trump announcing what he calls the largest steel plant in American history, to be built in Iowa by Mesabi Metallics. The description promises thousands of construction, manufacturing and mining jobs. Barely a day old, it is the channel's quickest mover.

Right behind it is an episode of Prove It!, where Batya Ungar-Sargon and Michael Starr Hopkins argue over an LA Times report that the president is cutting off student loans for some degrees that don't pay well after graduation. Is that overdue, or a punishment? The title leaves the question open. Third comes storm footage from Long Beach, New York, where resident Neil Walsh talked about neighbors paddling down flooded streets.

The rest of the week leaned on familiar faces: Joe Manchin on The Hill Sunday explaining his endorsements of Susan Collins and Mike Rogers, Geraldo Rivera on Iran and the midterms, and former space station commander Leroy Chiao on Starship's first orbital flight, which he sums up as "two steps forward."

A day after Ross Coulthart's disclosure warning gave the channel a standout, this week spread its attention across politics, weather and space. NewsNation sits third by subscribers among news broadcasters of its size, and it still draws more views on a typical day than most of them.
