Scott Swafford

I'm a city editor at the Columbia Missourian and a professor at the Missouri School of Journalism. I also like singing with my punk rock band.

@RudiKellerMI @columbiatribune @GateHouse_Media @MissouriPress @MO_Independent @Gannett Those @columbiatribune bastards didn't even share the news that Don made the hall of fame. I guess now we know why.

[Scott Swafford @SCSwafford]

@ScottCharton @RudiKellerMI @Gannett @columbiatribune Just about the crappiest thing @columbiatribune could do. @Gannet_Media has ruined that newspaper and now has perhaps ended a hall of fame photojournalist's career. Speechless.

@JesPup @reveal @kmieszkowski @WBEZ @religionofsport @prx @JoanNiesen Heard this on "Reveal" today. Excellent stuff. Congratulations!

I'm sure my friend @cherryc1966 is cringing about that flimsy legal pad, but it'll do. Appreciate @lizbrixey for posting this and all the kind comments. My 18 years at the J-school have been precious because all of you made them that way. I've learned far more than I've taught.

@CoMisourian reporters have been out in the field talking to dozens of voters. Read what's on their minds. https://t.co/8cfdCmvSPE

@gibs626 @OllieConnolly @petemrogers Simple solution. Call them the Red Tails, and use the red-tailed hawk as the mascot, then explain that the name is in honor of the airmen.

@AyeshaVishnani I'm sorry to read that this is your impression of Missourian editors, Ayesha.

Nick Kelly, Peter Baugh, Bennett Durando, Eli Lederman, Christina Long ... all APSE Student Contest winners, all MU J-School students. What a place!

Speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil. Perhaps it's Mizzou's turn to ruin the day. https://t.co/cN0CuG8eyl

Both Tom's piece, and Wade's original, are must reads.

Why I thought this @WadeGLivingston story about mean people dissing an alligator attack victim was so good, in @Niemanstory. https://t.co/xJ9T6Lst5M via @niemanstory

@KRCG13 Why is KRCG showing "Extra" and "Entertainment Tonight" instead of the Texans/Patriots game?

[Scott Swafford @SCSwafford]

Too bad it's an unacceptable proper noun in Scrabble. Looking for anagrams. AORTIC is the best I could come up with. https://t.co/oCML3xqUFT

I've been rooting for, and predicting success for, Croatia throughout the World Cup. Check out the tiles I just drew in a fresh game of online Scrabble. Coincidence? I think not.

@xblandx @CoMoSports @mujschool @CoMissourian I'm sure you'll ramp up our news as much as you ramped up our sports coverage, Pete. Glad to keep you on board.

It's good to be lit. #TheAbusers https://t.co/BQYOrzCBqJ

@JoanNiesen Hi, Joan. I'm on the committee seeking our next Mo'an sports editor and wanted to see if you know folks who might be interested. If you could send me an email address, I could send you a job posting. Thanks. Hope you're well.

Dr. Melnyk was a mentor, a teacher, a friend. She'll be missed.
