My mother’s insatiable news appetite is quite possibly the sole reason I am at this school. As an only child, I did not have a sibling to keep me company, so she became my constant companion. When I woke up in the morning, I would go to my parents’ room, where the news was always on. At 6 a.m., my mother would be watching “Morning Joe,” and around 10 p.m., she would end her day with “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.” Though I’ve wanted to be a broadcast journalist all my life, it never occurred to me to major in journalism, let alone go to the best journalism school in the world, until my junior year in high school.

In August of last year, Tiffany Krueger feared her dream of owning and operating a fitness center would be crushed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
That month, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee imposed new restrictions on gyms that nearly tripled the required space between class participants. For Krueger’s small gym, Athena Fitness and Wellness in Olympia, that meant further reducing class sizes.
In anger and frustration, Krueger took to social media to decry the changes.
“I have to say that I am freaking pissed,” she said in a video posted to Instagram at the time. “We’re unable to pay our bills with these mandates; that is the reality.”
Washington Legislature
After one last unsuccessful attempt at delay, former Washington state Auditor Troy Kelley has begun serving his federal prison sentence.
Kelley reported last week to a minimum security camp at a Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Herlong, California in the high desert about 50 miles northwest of Reno.
Kelley’s “self-surrender,” which was first reported by KING 5 News, caps a years-long saga that began with a federal indictment in 2015 and led to two trials, a conviction on several charges and a lengthy, but ultimately unsuccessful, appeals process.
Until the very end, Kelley – who remained free throughout the legal process sought to postpone the start of his time in prison.
