    This is HUGE — whenever I hear a reporter asking the right questions (pronouns, mental illness label, etc.), I send them a message saying I appreciate it. Teach your writers to write more accurately by seeking out the information they need to be accurate.

    So this is as much an issue for the writer as for the editor. The writer needs to know to ask (And ask in a respectful way.).

    I think some people misconstrue forward-thinking language as politically liberal or pushing an agenda, but when you get down to it, it's primarily about being as accurate and respectful as possible.

    Q2: What are the risks of allowing your language to have an ethical or moral agenda? What do you gain or lose by giving up the claim of neutral language?

    A Sinclair journalist, who has been trying to resist from inside the newsroom — but who doesn’t have a union — explains why it’s so hard for TV anchors to refuse the Sinclair’s editorial edicts. They have contracts that penalize them if they quit.

    I don't know what kind of miracles they usually work at the Microsoft store but I just walked in with a broken Xbox One from 2014 and walked out with a new Xbox One S for the warranty exchange price and I'm in shock. It was like going to the Apple Store, but pleasant and helpful.
