Shocking! The high school junior shared first place with her closest competitor because of a new policy put into place earlier this week in response to her success. abc7.com/post/transgendโ€ฆ via ABC7LA App

Here is a link to episode 12 of The Death of News. These things are always less than 7 minutes, designed for the short attention span listener. The Death of News is a critique on the style of journalism. open.spotify.com/show/7HumHvSuQโ€ฆ

In the 1990s, TV news started this thing where they'd do stories with verbless sentences. Critics call it gerund news. It's not how we talk, and it's not how we listen. My sacraficial lamb for this episode is ABC World News Tonight's Gerund News. open.spotify.com/show/7HumHvSuQโ€ฆ

Incorrect, unneeded and non-conversational words keep popping up in news stories. Episode 14 is less than 6 minutes! You can finish it during a commercial break on KFI AM 640 #journalism #news #newswriting #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/70Ssm6โ€ฆ

Finally! Episode 16 is in the can. As always, I point out the mistakes journalists make and how to fix them. Also, a litttle talk about iHeart and its "news" operation, and more fun stuff. Listen to The Death Of News on Spotify for Creators open.spotify.com/episode/07MfqGโ€ฆ

Reporters need to pay attention to what they write after they do an interview; it wouldn't hurt anchors to cut back on the cliches; and everybody needs get the words right. We'll do that and more in fewer than 7 minutes in episode 20 of The Death Of News. open.spotify.com/episode/5vH1yNโ€ฆ

Not really. Fires in Southern California, October 2007. Before winds died down late in the week, the fires burned hundreds of thousands of acres and forced at least half a million people from their homes. Smoke caused unhealthy air quality in many areas.
