A university in Michigan told 5,500 admitted students that they had won scholarships worth $48,000. About two hours later, it sent the students another email: It was a mistake. It was the second university in the state this month to make such an error.

Getting very tired of hearing about newsroom leaders who talk about how ~hard~ it is to recruit diverse talent, but then when they have incredible people dropped in their lap, they either ignore them or treat them poorly. Maybe it’s hard because the secret is out that you suck.

Police pursuits kill more than a dozen Michiganians a year. What can change?

Across Michigan, data shows that police pursuits kill more than a dozen people a year. But policies vary wildly from one department to the next.

A reader just copied and pasted my entire story to me to ask me if I had seen it, including my byline and author bio at the bottom. Yes, the very story they pulled my email address from.

The only universal journalism experience is making a call for something mundane in your personal life and starting the call with "hi, this is (name) with (media outlet, and ... actually my employer is not relevant, here is the actual issue"

I will always remember 2018 as the year someone emailed me about a story and told me I was a bad journalist, just to link to one of my other stories with comments about how that reporter was much smarter than me.

Hello I’d like to discuss the most Idaho thing I’ve ever seen, which is that my grocery store tucks in the potatoes at night (I’m sure there’s an actual reason why but I’d like to think it’s so they have nice dreams)

It’s come to my attention that some people (doubters, haters, etc) thought I would not top my first vaccine look when I got my second shot. Happy to confirm they were wrong.

The thrill of falling in love with a non-journalist who never asks you to change (even though you were DEFINITELY supposed to pick him up from work today...and last Friday, when news also broke late in the afternoon)

One spicy part of Idaho ~making the national news~ is hearing how many different ways people can come up with to pronounce McGeachin

It's time to stop talking about people who have 25+ tabs open (me) and instead start talking about people who get overwhelmed by the number of tabs open so they pull one out to start a new window and then open another 25 tabs on that window (also me)
