‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month’ - LGBT
Pride Month is currently celebrated annually in the month of June to honor the
1969 Stonewall Inn civil unrest in New York City, otherwise known as the
“Stonewall Riots,” that took place following a police raid on the Stonewall
Inn, a gay bar at 43 Christopher Street, in Manhattan. In subsequent years,
marches, parades, festivals, and events have been scheduled in the spring to
shed additional light on the civil rights of the gay and lesbian community.

onlookers.

This year, in Carroll County, it was decided by the
organizing committee that in order to be respectful of other Pride events that
are taking place in Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Frederick, MD,
The Westminster Pride Festival wanted to kick off its inaugural year with no
calendar conflicts. “People do generally celebrate pride with more than one festival,
especially on the east coast where it is easy to make it to various pride parades
and festivals.” said Garber.

This just in from the latest edition of the SPJ newsletter
July 4, 2018
“And, in light of the tragedy at the Capital Gazette in
Annapolis, Maryland, let us not forget that the willingness to sign your name
to an article, a column, a masthead continues to require an uncommon bravery we
often take for granted.” -- Christopher Carosa, president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, for USA Today.

to an article, a column, a masthead continues to require an uncommon bravery we
often take for granted.” -- Christopher Carosa, president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, for USA Today.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
People are still talking about Annapolis after a man armed
with a shotgun and smoke grenades stormed into the newsroom of a community
newspaper chain in Maryland’s capital on Thursday afternoon, killing five staff members, injuring two others. It
prompted law enforcement agencies across the country to provide protection at
the headquarters of media organizations.

You can help honor the memories of the Capital Gazettejournalists by acknowledging a moment of silence. At 2:33 p.m. EDT Thursday,
SPJ will join journalism groups and newsrooms around the globe in a moment of
silence to honor the five employees who were killed.
To help newsrooms protect their journalists, ASNE and APME
have created a tip sheet explaining how to react if an aggressor enters the building.

High school educators across the country have been clamping
down on students who publish articles on protests, sexuality, and other
hot-button issues. The killing of the opinion piece on the National School
Walkout protest was the third instance of conflict between John Burdett, the
principal of Prosper High School in Prosper, Texas, and the school’s news
publication, Eagle Nation Online.

CafePress, an online retailer, was in hot water for selling T-shirts emblazoned with the
phrase “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” CafePress pulled the
shirts soon after the outcry began, but then the question shifted to why it
carried them in the first place. The message has been seen on t-shirts at Trump rallies for almost two years. But the fury over
the message has increased since last week, when five journalists were killed in
a shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in
Annapolis, Maryland.

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta has appeared in
at least one advertisement for his brother’s Democratic congressional campaign,
raising questions about his objectivity in reporting on the
president’s health. At the very least, experts say, it creates the perception
of bias. (And we all know what the SPJ Code of Ethics says about that.)

The weapon: 16 sticks of dynamite and a windup alarm clock.
The target: The old Los Angeles Times building, an 1886
brick-and-granite edifice known as "the fortress," on Broadway and
First Street, across the street from where The Times is located today.

anti-union strongholds in the early days of the 20th century.

Twenty-one people died in the early hours of Oct. 1, 1910,
when the explosive device ripped an entire wing off The Times building. A night
editor and a telegraph operator were among the dead, and dozens of others were
wounded and maimed. A report published in The Times two days after the incident
described the scene as an "awful pit of death."

Heralded as the "crime of the century," the
