We just wrapped up a fantastic couple days: Dean Baquet, the former executive editor of The New York Times, spent two days in Mission Local's newsroom.
He hosted 1-1 talks with reporters and editors, talking through beats, sourcing, newsroom structure, and much, much more...

Several members of a Facebook group of Gay San Francisco Giants Fans spoke with me about the events of Pride Night. Many of them have been fans for decades, attended multiple Pride Nights and shared the fandom with their family.
Two weeks ago, three Giants pitchers wrote a Bible verse on the rainbow Giants Pride caps for Pride Night. Now, there's a rumbling among LGBTQ+ fans who had long felt embraced by the team. https://t.co/NdS8slHHjw

Several people were arrested at the end of the Trans March, the kick-off event for San Francisco Pride weekend.
Police officers ran into the crowd & handcuffed people, allegedly for earlier acts of vandalism. People were heard yelling "Get off him!" & "What the fuck?!"
Third Thursdays on Treat, this time “Juneteenth x Pride,” kicked off late Thursday afternoon in what will be dozens of Pride and Juneteenth celebrations through the end of the month.

I’m so excited to announce that @DeliaSRangel will be the next editor-in-chief of The Daily Orange.
The D.O. is in great hands, and I can’t wait to see what she accomplishes.
I interviewed Mike Haynie a few weeks ago. We talked about his time in the military, his life in central New York, his two decades at Syracuse University, the Bryan Blair and Gerry McNamara decisions and the chancellor role he will soon officially assume.
Mike Haynie will assume leadership of Syracuse University effective immediately after Chancellor Kent Syverud confirmed in a campus-wide email he is stepping down due to a brain cancer diagnosis. @dailyorange
A lot can happen in 100 years. Despite changes, like the addition of pizza in the 1960s or 70s, Varsity has always been a part of Syracuse University. Having opened as a cart in 1926, it's become synonymous with the university's culture.
The Daily Orange is working to independently verify the statuses of each “sunset” major in the list provided by Syracuse University. @dailyorange welcomes tips at [email protected].
Syracuse “sunsets” 93 programs after academic portfolio review, local staple Varsity Pizza celebrates its centennial anniversary and Gerry McNamara’s promises to end NCAA tournament drought feature in this week’s edition of @dailyorange.

SU will “sunset” 93 programs after its academic portfolio review, Vice Chancellor Lois Agnew announced in a campus-wide email. Students enrolled in the programs can still complete their degrees, she wrote. @dailyorange
UConn head coach Geno Auriemma on Syracuse’s Uche Izoje:
“She’s the best player we’ve seen this year.”
“She knows exactly what shot she wants. She knows when she wants it, and from where, and there's not a lot you can do to keep her from getting it.”
