Kindness always wins. Utah newsie. RT ≠ endorsement. Opinions my own.

As an editor, these words are some of my biggest pet peeves:

- individuals (as an adjective for people or person)
- utilize
- chair as a person or verb (he "chaired" the meeting)

What are some of your least favorite words you notice in articles?

So, tried them, and they’re good but not as good as you’d think they would be!

Ralph Yarl, age 16, knocked on the wrong door in Missouri and was shot.

He went to the door at the wrong home to pick up his younger twin brother and that’s when he was shot, according to police.

CBS affiliate KCTV reports: “The correct address Yarl was attempting to go to was a block away. According to the victim’s Aunt, Faith Spoonmore, the homeowner opened his door and then opened fire on Yarl. The man, whose identity has not been released yet, allegedly took a second shot at Yarl, hitting him in the head again.”

According to KSHB TV: “Yarl was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address — 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street instead of 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace.”

The shooting happened April 13th.

The shooter was held by police for 24 hours, pending investigation, but then released.

“I want everyone to know that I am listening,” Kansas City police chief Stacy Graves said at a news conference at Kansas City police headquarters downtown, “and I understand the concern we are receiving from the community.”

“Yarl is the utmost example of how you want a young man to carry himself in this world,” said one of the teen’s longtime teachers to the Kansas City Star. Meara Mitchell, a teacher of Yarl’s for several years, called his shooting “incomprehensible.” She described him Sunday as a “stellar human-being” with a “quiet fortitude.”

KCTV 5 adds: “Yarl is a section leader in his school’s marching band and is said to be a top-base clarinet player in the state of Missouri.”

@emburack We don't know each other but as a fellow reporter this makes me vicariously happy. That's lovely.

@EliMcCann Our cats do this, too. One will start to clean the other when the other is asleep or just waking up. Sometimes it turns into a fight, but sometimes the groomee seems to like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

A dedicated and motivated reporter, Dylan was shot and killed while working at the scene of a homicide. Spectrum News remembers our fallen colleague. https://t.co/264x3y8Lup

@janieho16 @BachelorABC @zach_shallcross Yes! Totally agree. She was comparing it to a situation that affected her livelihood, which is very important to most people, but he acted like it was trivial. I got the feeling that it's because she's in sales...which is condescending.

[Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox]

This rhetoric is destructive and wrong and—honestly—evil. We don’t need a divorce, we need marriage counseling. And we need elected leaders that don’t profit by tearing us apart. We can disagree without hate. Healthy conflict was critical to our nation’s founding and survival.

Hi friends! It's been a while. I'm back to work after a two-month leave due to severe sickness with pregnancy. My coworkers at @KSLcom are the best anyone could ask for and have been so supportive and kind. So thankful to work for a company that truly supports women. 💜

@cory_maloy @KSLcom Send them! I'm hoping to find time to continue doing at least some original reporting! :)

[Ashley Imlay @ashley_imlay]

Today, I start a new position as a news manager at
@KSLcom. While I'll miss reporting full time, I'm excited to pivot to editing and to promote colleagues' work.
