NPR released its weekly news quiz on Friday, September 25, 2026, inviting readers to test their knowledge of the week's stories. The quiz, written by Holly J. Morris, includes questions on topics such as the Trump arch, Fat Bear Week, and the Billboard Hot 100.
The quiz opens with a nod to the changing season: "The equinox has passed! So grab a decorative gourd, a PSL and a Brown Sugar Pumpkin-scented Yankee Candle, and take the quiz." This introduction sets a lighthearted tone for the weekly feature.
Among the topics covered are the Trump arch, museums, royals, and bears—specifically Fat Bear Week. The quiz also touches on the Billboard Hot 100. These subjects reflect a mix of political, cultural, and natural interest stories from the week.
NPR notes that it does not offer or accept money for coverage or interviews, and that anyone making such an offer is not an NPR employee and does not represent NPR. This disclaimer accompanies the quiz.
The quiz is available on NPR's website and is part of the organization's regular news programming. Readers can participate by filling in the blank for the title question: "Trump's says his triumphal arch will include _____".
