We believe our newsrooms are grossly lacking in diversity. An example: Only two reporters in Allentown speak Spanish in a city that's majority Hispanic. We want the company to put in writing that they will seek out talented women and people of color. They refuse. #WeAreOneVoice

Giant bee, cruising through ancient Indonesian forest ... and kids’ nightmares. Incredible.
Everything about Wallace’s giant bee is gigantic. But despite its eye-popping size, it’s been nearly 40 years since the world’s largest bee was officially sighted in the wild. ow.ly/fkUC30nMY4U
