The Deseret News' Journalism Jinxnew
That Deseret News CEO Clark Gilbert has made digital news the priority at the expense of its print edition could not be more obvious. Friday's front page with a hyphenated headline trailing off the page points to an appalling inattention to detail for what has always been a paper's most vital asset: its front page.

The Moment When the Police Lost the Occupy Portland Narrativenew
During a choreographed effort to pull a few dozen protesters out of the Chase bank branch, part of a hundreds-strong day of action, Portland police officers resorted to a decidedly more muscular show of force in a clash watched by TV cameras and rush-hour commuters.
