AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - The Athletic concludes Russini broke newsroom standards but found limited bias in Vrabel coverage
The Athletic's five-month investigation into former NFL insider Dianna Russini found she violated the outlet's standards by failing to disclose her relationship with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, but stopped short of proving her reporting was tainted. Mike Semel, The Athletic's editorial director for standards and editorial quality, reviewed 903 stories, 77 videos, and 204 podcast […] The post The Athletic concludes Russini broke newsroom standards but found limited bias in Vrabel coverage appeared first on American Almanac .
The Athletic's five-month investigation into former NFL insider Dianna Russini found she violated the outlet's standards by failing to disclose her relationship with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, but stopped short of proving her reporting was tainted. Mike Semel, The Athletic's editorial director for standards and editorial quality, reviewed 903 stories, 77 videos, and 204 podcast episodes carrying Russini's byline. He interviewed roughly 14 of her colleagues and compared the outlet's coverage of Vrabel and his teams against reporting from rival publications. The conclusion: Russini was "noncompliant" with company policy, but the bulk of her work held up under scrutiny. That split verdict captures the awkward position The Athletic, owned…Open

A newly built suspension bridge in West Java, Indonesia, partially collapsed during its own inauguration ceremony after roughly 50 people crowded onto a structure designed to hold no more than three at a time, sending villagers and local officials plunging toward the river below. The Pongpet Suspension Bridge in Margacinta, a 196-foot crossing that connects several villages in Pangandaran Regency, gave way on a Sunday afternoon moments after officials cut the ribbon. A suspension cable on the left-hand side detached from its main anchor point, and the bridge tilted sideways. Several people fell. Panic broke out on the span, which hangs above a river roughly 20 metres, about 65 feet, below. No one died, local authorities said. But several…Open

An Austrian mountain guide surrendered his licence and faces a police investigation after helmet-camera footage captured him allegedly grabbing a Polish climber on a narrow, exposed ridge high on Austria's tallest peak, a confrontation that began when the guide barged past the climber's wife while she was lowering herself on a rope. The incident occurred on August 22 along the Mürztalersteig route on the Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain at 12,460 feet. The Polish climber and his wife were making their way toward the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte refuge, roughly 10,000 feet above sea level, when the guide, leading two clients, wedged himself between the couple on one of the route's most exposed sections. The wife was mid-descent on a…Open

Prince William and Kate Middleton plan to simply ignore Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now that the Sussexes have moved back to Britain, a strategy friends describe as leading "by example" while the estranged couple settles two hours away. The Sussex family touched down at Birmingham Airport around lunchtime on August 26, arriving by private jet from California roughly six years after they quit their royal duties and decamped to a $14 million mansion in Montecito. Harry, 41, Markle, 45, and their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, are now house-hunting in the Cotswolds, an area about two hours from William and Middleton's Windsor home. The children have already been enrolled in a British prep school costing $35,000 a…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Charles McAdams) - Tarantula mating season sends males on a one-way march across 15 states
Tens of thousands of male tarantulas are leaving their underground burrows right now to search for mates across the American South and Southwest, a brief, driven journey most will not survive.

Tens of thousands of male tarantulas are leaving their underground burrows right now to search for mates across the American South and Southwest, a brief, driven journey most will not survive. The annual migration is already underway from Arizona to Arkansas, with roughly 30 species of tarantula active across 15 states between late August and October. Males that have spent five to ten years underground emerge for the first and only mating season of their lives, crossing roads, trails, and open desert in search of a female's burrow. Within months of mating, or failing to, they die. For residents in the affected states, the season means more spider sightings on roads and near homes. But entomologists and wildlife officials say the…Open
