I noticed that you referred to the recent serial bank robber as the "Man in Black" ("'Man in Black' changes clothes for latest heist," Dec. 7).
This infers that the robber is a black man, even though you know he's white. He was recently shown on the evening news wearing a yellow jacket, but is still being referenced as the "Man in Black" and not the "Man in Yellow."
Please state the news clearly and accurately. This is a white male robbing people.
Perhaps you will do a story on the harm this type of racism causes.
Once you research the subject, you may find that your writers will be more careful with their rhetoric. I know journalists value accuracy.
