    TRUTH, : Sister Jean is excellent. But why more coverage of her than Arike Ogunbowale? "Better & more sustained" coverage of women's sports would benefit not just female athletes, but sports fans. Absolutely.

    Remember how people used to think it was so cool Zuckerberg dropped out of college? Perhaps he should have stayed in and taken a few humanities and social science classes.

    This is very fun, and not solely because of the excellent cameos.

    Fantastic news about a fantastic alum!

    Some personal news: As of July 1, I'll start a new job as assistant sports editor at . I'm excited for a new challenge, but will definitely miss the beat. Until July, I'll be transitioning, doing some reporting still, while also training for the new gig.

    The Chronicle is the only hyper local news source in Creswell and more often than not, the only news source in the room covering school board meetings.

    Important for journalism educators. We need to build off Yr1 Comp, not focus on how our writing is different. Which, full disclosure, I've done. But I've seen the light.

    It’s been more than a decade, but I’m teaching Yr1 Comp this semester (long story.) I’m continually struck, all over again, by fact that the building blocks of any+all writing—no matter genre—are essentially the same: a) What do you want to say? b) Give specifics. c) Who cares?

    My first full-time job was at a paper half the size of my college paper. Petersburg Progress-Index. I learned a ton! Wouldn't trade that experience. Really.

    Posting again because sensing major job angst from students. My first full-time gig a 12,000 circulation -- Camarillo Daily News. Awesome experience. Learned to do everything. Be patient. Keep an open mind.

    I should read this first thing every morning. Thanks as always, , for your wisdom. (And for giving her a push.)

    I've gotten better at saying no. Here are the two questions that have made it easier. (Thx to for encouraging me to write it up.)

    This Pittsburgh girl cannot wait for this documentary. Even though -- or, I guess, because -- I teared up at 1:03 of this trailer.

    Won't you please, won't you please? Cry with me through the 'Won't You Be My Neighbor' trailer?

    What's wrong with women's college basketball? It's not the dominance of the Huskies. But maybe the lack of coverage by the male dominated sports media is a real issue.

    Nope. I didn't see a thing. :)

    Cael Sanderson on TV was asked about his rare display of emotion when he lifted up Bo Nickal: "Hopefully you didn't get any of that on camera. ... Such a quick change of events. .. That's pretty special."

    Can't stop watching this, either. All I need now is the call by Ironhead. Which may have been even louder.

    Sorry, 197-pounders, but I've been watching this over and over. So great. The wrestling, of course, but also Cael's reaction.
