Some personal news: After 12 years at USA TODAY, I am moving on to a new adventure at BBC News, where I will be a senior editor @BBCNorthAmerica! In the meantime, learning to add unnecessary vowels again, for our neighbours across the pond...

So so sad to see this news. A huge loss. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Glad to see a number of people are interested in the information I posted that subscribing to USA Today will get you access to all of Gannett's dailies. Let me add that it's not exactly intuitive, so if you're having trouble, drop me a line and I'll explain where it is.

#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.

Please share! And DM Krystal if you can help... 🙏

Really excited about @Gannett's latest fellowship program: the statehouse reporting fellowship. We're adding fellows across the country to serve audiences with local, regional, and national election journalism. These are paid, full-time, benefits-eligible roles. 1/5
