Suspect Held, Has Homeless, Racial, Mental Issues
NBC News has fired a security guard after the security breach at the “Today” show Thursday that ended with an intruder confronting co-anchor Craig Melvin and calling him the N-word, TMZ and the New York Post’s Page Six reported.
Andrew Truelove, 41, who has been homeless and served prison time, was arraigned Friday in Manhattan on hate crime, burglary and menacing charges, with bail set at $10,000 cash / $10,000 insurance company bond.
According to the complaint against him, Truelove was asked by “Informant 2” — presumably Melvin –“That’s what you wanted to get arrested for?”
“The defendant replied in substance, I always wanted to call a Black famous person the N-word,” the complaint said.
The Post told readers that Truelove “had spent years cycling through the criminal justice system, including prison time, homelessness in California and multiple recent arrests in New York.”
The Daily News’ Jessica Schladebeck added Friday that Truelove “grew up with a racist father and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in college, according to a family member.
“ ‘Our father was racist, took Andrew to hear David Duke speak, denied the Holocaust despite being Jewish, used frequent slurs, and so on,’ a woman who only identified herself as Truelove’s sister said in text messages with the Daily News. ‘It would seem my brother took some of that to heart.’ ”
NBC News was not commenting on the reports that the security guard had been fired, and 32BJ SEIU, the union representing service workers, including security guards, did not respond to requests for comment.
TMZ video shows police presence outside “Today” after intruder interference.
Antoinette Bueno and Oli Coleman reported late Thursday for the New York Post’s Page Six, “Sources tell us that security video shows two guards on duty when the terrifying breach happened. In the tape, one guard steps away, and the other guard misses the intruder as he slips in.
“It’s unclear which of the guards was the one to lose their job over the security debacle, but insiders say that show staff were sad to learn of the dismissal because he was a well-liked presence in the building.”
The incident follows another racial incident involving a Chicago news crew.
There, “A CBS News Chicago reporter and photographer were attacked by three men who yelled racial slurs, damaged their equipment, and commanded a dog to attack them near the Adler Planetarium, according to police and the news station,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported June 30. The three were arrested.
In the Melvin case, Truelove allegedly slipped into a restricted vestibule near Studio 1A at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan.
The police complaint said:
“I am informed by an individual known to the District Attorney’s Office (‘Informant 1’), who works on the security team at the above-described location, that the defendant went into the lobby at that location, followed behind an employee, who used their identification to scan in, past an [employees] only area.

“I am informed by another individual known to the District Attorney’s Office (‘Informant 2’), that he observed the defendant at the bottom of a stairwell that was inside of the employee’s only area of the aforementioned location. I am further informed by Detective Ashley Breton, Shield No. 2387 of the Hate Crimes Taskforce, that he is informed by Informant 2 that the defendant called out Informant 2’s name and then stated in substance, where is Roker?,” a reference to the “Today” show’s co-host and weatherman, Al Roker, who is Black.
“I am further informed by Detective Breton, who is informed by Informant 2, that the defendant then proceeded to take steps toward Informant 2 and stated in substance, you’re a n*****. I am informed by Informant 2 that the defendant’s conduct made him fear for his safety.”
In 2023, Connor Sheets of the Los Angeles Times wrote a 6,181-word piece about Truelove headlined, “From a one-way flight to sleeping in a parking lot: Diary of a California dream gone sour.”
“His is a familiar story, a modern iteration of the starry-eyed striver headed west with a dollar and a dream. But in 2023, the landing for a troubled person at the end of his rope can be brutal,” Sheets wrote.
“His experiences at the bottom of L.A.’s economic ladder raise difficult questions about what role society should play in caring for those who have the least but need the most. . . .
“Truelove has PTSD and a related mood disorder and no friends or family in California. He got off supervised probation two days before he left the East Coast. Before that, he had been in prison for the latest in a string of felony convictions.”
“Western governments claim to oppose Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and uphold international law,” Al Jazeera says. “However, undercover reporters from Al Jazeera expose how donors based in some Western countries fund the expansion of illegal settlements.” (Credit: YouTube)
Undercover Journos Link Western Donors, Settlers
“An undercover investigation by Al-Jazeera says it has uncovered evidence that charities and donors in the United Kingdom and Canada are helping channel tax-deductible donations to Israeli settler organizations in the occupied West Bank, despite laws prohibiting charitable funds from supporting illegal settlements,” Drop Site News reported Friday.
“Posing as prospective donors, Al Jazeera’s undercover reporters were allegedly told by pro-settler organisations that donations could be routed through registered charities before being used to expand settlements, campaign for the demolition of Palestinian homes, and provide military-grade equipment, including drones, to settlers.”

LULAC’s Media Outfit Becomes a Player in ICE Coverage
A little-known media organization was namechecked in the coverage of the killing by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, the first of three such killings in recent weeks to enrage those who already believe the federal agency needs reining in.
The organization was El Grito News, a small outfit created by the League of Latin American Citizens, the veteran civil rights organization known as LULAC.
It has only two or three journalists and eight young aspiring fellows, but it became a trusted repository for footage taken by businesses whose witnessed the killing of Salgado Araujoa (pictured), a Mexican who lived in the U.S. for decades, as the homebuilder drove his construction crew to a Houston job site.
The Department of Homeland Security claimed Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle when it was chasing his white van and that an officer opened fire in self-defense. Surveillance and eyewitness videos show an aggressive pursuit leading up to the incident, a lack of standard police identifiers, and the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
“We were getting videos from small businesses. We became a trusted partner” for those who would not provide that evidence to the FBI or the district attorney’s office, Juan Proaño (pictured), CEO of LULAC, told Journal-isms on Friday.
“We became a source for traditional media. CNN was using our video,” Proaño said. “We were able to reach millions and millions of people.”
El Grito started about a year ago, but the idea of the nonprofit providing its own news goes back to 1935, he said, much like the NAACP’s The Crisis, which was created in 1910.
Unlike other Latino media, Proaño said, the focus is on civil rights. He is a board member of the Leadershp of Civil and Human Rights.
Meanwhile, the National Hispanic Media Coaliton Thursday joined Voto Latino and more than 50 interfaith, human rights, business, immigration, veteran and civil rights leaders “to demand the immediate introduction of articles of impeachment and a full congressional investigation into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s handling of deaths in detention, shootings by ICE and CBP agents and other violence perpetrated by DHS.”
The New York Times wrote Tuesday about the lack of video footage of the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine; a vigil took place this week for a 28-year-old Mexican national, so far unidentified by name, who died in St. Augustine, Fla., after authorities say he ran from federal immigration agents and was struck by a semi-truck. And hundreds attended a wake Thursday for Salgado Araujo.

Paramount Gifts FCC Free Tickets as It Weighs Merger
“The rich and famous who filed into the Kennedy Center’s opera house in December were there to enjoy one of the nation’s most exclusive celebrations of the performing arts: the center’s annual honors gala,” Corey G. Johnson reported Wednesday or ProPublica.
“The black-tie event, hosted by President Donald Trump, prioritized tickets to people who donated more than $75,000 to the center. This year, it feted Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone, the legendary glam rock band Kiss and the Grammy Award-winning disco pioneer Gloria Gaynor.
“Among the attendees that evening were two lower-profile government officials whose regulatory decisions had been crucial to the future of the gala’s broadcast sponsor, CBS, and its parent company, Paramount.
“Five months earlier, Federal Communications Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media. Now, the commissioner and a guest enjoyed the star-studded celebration thanks to tickets gifted to her by Paramount worth more than $12,000, according to ethics disclosure records obtained by ProPublica.
“The other commissioner who approved the merger watched from a prized perch. FCC Chair Brendan Carr and his wife sat in a private skybox with Paramount CEO David Ellison and other executives from Paramount and CBS. Such seats sold for $125,000 a ticket, according to Kennedy Center guidelines.
“It’s unclear if Paramount gifted Carr the premium seats because the FCC has yet to make public his financial disclosure for last year. . . .”

N.Y. Times Counters EEOC Claim of Bias Against White Men
“The New York Times has filed counterclaims against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is pursuing a lawsuit against the news organization for allegedly discriminating against a white male employee by passing him over for a promotion,” Winston Cho reported July 10 for The Hollywood Reporter.
“The Commission markedly deviated from its ordinary practices in almost every respect to file the flimsiest of lawsuits against The Times, a frequent target of the administration, on the heels of investigative reporting that brought to light scathing bipartisan criticism of the EEOC, its leadership, and its priorities from both inside and outside the Commission,” states the complaint filed on Friday in New York federal court.
“The EEOC initiated the legal battle in May when it accused the Times of implementing race and sex-based hiring goals that favor minorities and women in violation of civil rights laws. The government seeks a court order barring the company from carrying diversity, equity and inclusion policies, plus unspecified damages for the unnamed employee.
“The employee, Bryant Rousseau (pictured), allegedly lost a job as the deputy real estate editor to a multiracial woman, who allegedly didn’t have experience covering the field, according to the complaint. None of the final four candidates were white men, the EEOC said.
“In its complaint, the Times accuses the commission of filing the lawsuit in retaliation for its reporting in violation of the First Amendment. The EEOC omitted details it had learned during an eight-month investigation that undermine claims Rousseau was discriminated against, including offers for two others positions in 2024 that aligned with his career objectives, the publication says. . . . ”
Ewart Rouse, Longtime Philly Journalist, Dies at 85
Ewart Rouse, who spent more than 25 years as a reporter and editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer, died July 2 in Voorhees, N.J. He was 85, the Fertig Funeral Home in Harrison Township, N.J., reported July 8.
“When I arrived at the Inquirer as an editing intern in the business department in the early 1980s, Ewart was the only black journalist in that department,” Vernon Clark, who spent 33 years at the paper, messaged Journal-isms.
“And he was a standout and a role model, smart and confident. He, like Acel Moore and many others, always expressed his support for me and the others who were quietly breaking the barriers. Years later, as I was reporting on the 150th anniversary of Philadelphia’s cricket clubs, I knew very little about the sport. I called on Ewart, who had left the paper. He generously shared his expert knowledge of the game. A natural teacher and a college professor, he gave me the information I needed to round out my articles. Ewart showed us, by example, how to be journalists.”
“A native of Trinidad in the West Indies, Mr. Rouse began his journalism career at The Guardian newspaper in Port-of-Spain, the obituary continued.
“In 1969, he emigrated to the United States and later joined The Associated Press as a reporter covering South Jersey and Washington, D.C. politics.
“In 1974, he joined the Inquirer, where he spent more than 25 years as both a news reporter and editor. Mr. Rouse was passionate about cricket, a sport he grew up playing in the West Indies.
“In the late 1970s, he was one of the founding members of the Echelon Cricket Club in South Jersey. A prolific writer, he also authored a series of cricket-themed, fiction books known as the ‘Sticky Wicket’ trilogy. In addition, Mr. Rouse taught journalism at Temple, Arcadia and Rutgers universities, and enjoyed gardening, collecting music records, outdoor grilling and spending time with his family. . . .
“To honor Mr. Rouse’s wishes, there will be no public services. The immediate family will gather for a private memorial.”

TMZ reports on Thursday morning incident.
Suspect, 41, Said to Yell N-word at Co-Anchor
The New York Police Department confirmed the morning incident, first reported by TMZ, and in the early evening identified the man as Andrew Truelove, 41, of Manhattan.
Truelove was charged with hate crime/burglary, hate crime/menacing, hate crime/criminal trespass, and harassment.
“He has a recent arrest history, including twice in May, for criminal trespass and reckless endangerment and earlier in January for assault,” ABC News reported.
“He also was charged with criminal mischief on five separate occasions, from July to Sept. 2025, according to police.”
The NYPD statement said, “on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at approximately 0857 hours, an officer assigned to 30 Rockefeller Center within the confines of the Midtown North Precinct was alerted to a disorderly individual inside the building. Immediately thereafter, the responding officer entered into the building and placed the individual in custody without incident. There were no injuries reported, and the investigation remains active and ongoing. Charges are pending.
NBC’s “Today” show issued this statement shortly after 2 p.m.:
“There was a security incident this morning at the TODAY show studio. An individual entered an unauthorized area in a vestibule near Studio 1A. The person approached anchor Craig Melvin, who alerted security. The individual was detained and taken into custody by law enforcement without further incident. There was no altercation, and no one was injured.
“TODAY is cooperating fully with law enforcement as they investigate the matter. NBC and TODAY take the safety and security of our employees, talent, staff and guests extremely seriously. We are reviewing the incident and our security protocols and remain committed to providing a safe and secure environment for everyone who works at and visits our studios.”
Variety continued, “The incident happened at around 9 a.m. ET and was not captured on the ‘Today’ broadcast. It was first reported by TMZ. Citing law enforcement sources, the outlet said the intruder was trying to locate longtime ‘Today’ weatherman and personality Al Roker. When he couldn’t find Roker, the man confronted Melvin — lunging at him while yelling the N-word. The man was arrested and nobody was physically injured.”

Variety’s story also said, “Melvin was named a co-anchor of ‘Today’ in 2018 and in January 2025 replaced Hoda Kotb as Savannah Guthrie’s co-anchor in the show’s first two hours. He also serves as a co-host of the third hour of ‘Today’ and a host of syndicated ‘Dateline NBC’ broadcasts. Melvin has worked with and for NBC for years. In 2008, Melvin joined WRC, NBC’s Washington, D.C., station, where he started anchoring weekend newscasts. He joined MSNBC in 2011.
“Separately, Guthrie announced on Thursday’s ‘Today’ telecast that she will be stepping away from the show for several weeks to film the new Wordle game show she is hosting. ‘I’m headed over to shoot “Wordle” over the next few weeks’ Guthrie told viewers. ‘We’re going to shoot the whole season, and we’re super excited. Cannot wait for everyone to see it.’ ”
NBC News has obtained new audio of a call made to a private towing company by friends of Nolan Wells, the 18-year-old who was found dead two days after a July 4 trip to Horn Island, Miss., where they’re heard saying “We’re sinking. Can you all please come?” (Credit: NBC)
NBC Obtains Audio in Disappearance of Nolan Wells
“Newly surfaced audio is offering a clearer picture of what unfolded in the moments before some of Nolan Wells‘ friends departed Horn Island off the Mississippi coast, the day the 18-year-old was last seen alive. According to NBC News, the recording was obtained through a records request and captures the group calling for towing assistance after their boat began experiencing problems,” Bolarinwa Oladeji reported Thursday for theGrio.
“The audio aligns with an account shared last week by the mother of one of the friends, who said the group left the island without Nolan when their boat started malfunctioning.
“In the recording, the group can be heard urgently requesting help, with someone asking, ‘Can y’all please come?’ The dispatcher on the other end is heard confirming the situation, asking whether everyone aboard was accounted for and in good health, to which the caller responded that they were.
“The new detail adds to the broader timeline investigators have been piecing together. . . . ”

‘Agenda Journalism’: Baltimore Sun v. Gov. Wes Moore
“Maryland Gov. Wes Moore received help from an appointed California senator with close ties to former Vice President Kamala Harris while he pursued a Bronze Star nearly two decades after his deployment to Afghanistan, according to records obtained by Spotlight on Maryland and a retired Army colonel leading the investigation,” Gary Collins reported Wednesday for the Baltimore Sun.
“The congressional request did not come from either of Maryland’s two Democratic U.S. senators or any of the state’s seven Democratic House members. Instead, then-Sen. Laphonza Butler, a California Democrat, wrote to the Army secretary on Moore’s behalf on Nov. 12, 2024.
“Seven days later, the Army approved the award.
” ‘That’s unheard of,’ said Drew Sullins, a retired Army colonel leading Spotlight on Maryland’s review of Moore’s military records. ‘No other veteran would have access like that.’ ”
It was the latest in a Sun’s series questioning the veracity of the nation’s only Black governor, a possible 2028 Democratic presidential candidate. Moore (pictured) has fired back, invoking the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.
“Semafor reported Wednesday, “The owner of The Baltimore Sun is threatening to sue Maryland Gov. Wes Moore over comments the Democratic governor made linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, Semafor’s Max Tani scoops. During an appearance on MS NOW last month, Moore was asked about the newspaper’s recent critical reporting on his administration and military record, which the Sun wrote has ‘gaps and discrepancies.’ The governor dismissed the reporting as a political hit and tried to tie Sinclair’s executive chairman, David Smith, to the disgraced financier. . . .”
Last month, under the headline, “Agenda Journalism,” the Columbia Journalism Review included the Sun’s reporting in its weekly “Laurels and Darts.”
“On Monday, Jeff Barker, who spent twenty-five years as a reporter at the Baltimore Sun, posted on X that he was resigning,” Susie Banikarim wrote June 26. “ ‘I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead, he wrote. ‘I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there.’
“ ‘I’m not a whistleblower with inside information,’ Barker told me when I reached out to learn more about his departure. ‘But what I see — what alarms me — are some published politics stories that seem to be guided by preconceived notions. It feels like you can predict the outcome without reading the article. I don’t know if this can be called “agenda journalism,” but I think the best stories are unpredictable because you don’t know where the facts will take you.’ . . . ”
Is It the Strait of ‘Hor-Mooz’ or of ‘Hormoze’?
“All right, here we are, the Strait of Hormuz,” the “PBS ‘News Hour’s” special correspondent Reza Sayah told viewers on May 28, back when the war with Iran was new. “By the way, that’s the correct pronunciation. It’s Hor-moze, not Hor-mooz.”
And Chetna Vasishth, a YouTube host who teaches English to non-English speakers, created a video in which she says, “Everyone is saying Strait of Hormuz wrong — and I was today years old when I found out why.” She then gave the history of the word.
Gemini AI agrees with Vasishth — with the caveat “If you want to pronounce it the way locals do in Iran (Persian/Farsi).”
One YouTube commenter had a different take.
Wrote Muturajk-k1o, “😅😅😅😅 all are thinking about war you are thinking about pronunciation 🤦♂️🤦♂️.”
Local News Trust Buys 2 Ga. Papers From McClatchy
“The Georgia Trust for Local News today purchased The Macon Telegraph and The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer in a landmark transaction that puts two storied papers under local control and nonprofit ownership,” the organization announced Wednesday. The papers were owned by McClatchy Media.
The acquisition comes on the heels of the Trust’s hiring of a new executive director, Cynthia DuBose, who started in her role on June 1.
“A long-time leader with deep experience in driving transformative digital growth for local and national news organizations, DuBose brings a focus on innovation and community engagement to the role. She also has a strong belief in the importance of thriving local journalism,” a separate news release said.
“While attending Spelman College, a journalism professor encouraged her to begin reporting for the student newspaper, The Spelman Spotlight, where she later became the editor.
“After earning her master’s degree in print journalism from Columbia University, DuBose began working at Newsday, her hometown newspaper on Long Island, where she covered municipal government.
“DuBose joined The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2006, during a transformative period for the entire newspaper industry. Originally hired as a community reporter covering the city of Sandy Springs, DuBose saw an opportunity to try her hand at new strategies to deliver local news.
“ ‘I started to see how my friends were using Facebook and other digital platforms to get news and information,’ she said. ‘I thought it would be really interesting to focus on how we get news to people in different ways.’
“That pivot led her into digital strategy, audience engagement and newsroom innovation. During nearly a decade at the AJC, she helped lead digital operations and audience-focused initiatives, helping to transform the AJC into a modern news operation, while driving digital revenue growth.
“Later in her career, DuBose spent almost seven years at McClatchy Media, owner of 29 local news operations including the Miami Herald and The Telegraph in Macon, Georgia. At McClatchy, DuBose built audience, product and content monetization teams, rising to the role of Executive Vice President of Membership. . . . ”
The Trust added, “To mark the acquisition, the Georgia Trust will temporarily remove The [Columbus] Ledger-Enquirer’s and The Telegraph’s digital paywalls to welcome all members of the community to connect with these publications.
“In 2024, with a $5 million grant from Knight Foundation, the National Trust for Local News launched a startup community newsroom, The Macon Melody. The community journalism produced by Georgia Trust reporters in Macon quickly established The Melody as a vital local resource and partner in Middle Georgia. .
“The Melody and The Telegraph will bring their strengths together into a single news source. Operating as The Telegraph, this combined publication will blend the scale, domain authority and subscriber base of The Telegraph with the community-first voice, local relationships and entrepreneurial muscle of The Melody.
“Later this summer, The Melody will become a section within The Telegraph highlighting the people, places and moments that are the rhythm of Macon. The Telegraph newsroom will be housed in Mercer University’s Reg Murphy Center for Collaborative Journalism. . . . ”
At least two journalists, Kelby Hutchinson and Alba Rosa, reported being laid off from the Ledger-Enquirer as a result of the acquisition.
