Get Huffington Post on the Go | Posted: 18 May 2015 03:00 PM PDT  Monday, May 18, 2015 | View in Browser THE NUTGRAF Journalists transmit and amplify information, but there is one topic they're uncharacteristically mum about: mental health. Around the world, the stigma surrounding mental health issues has slowly but surely started to dissipate, but in the newsroom, it's still taboo. It's the reigning ethos of the newsroom: You're the observer of trauma, not the one who suffers. Around the world, the stigma surrounding mental-health issues has slowly but surely started to dissipate, but in the newsroom, it's still taboo. Today, The Huffington Post launches a five-part series on mental health in the newsroom, examining how journalists across the industry -- not just war reporters -- handle, and don't handle, mental health problems, and how the industry can begin to address the epidemic. From freelancers who must make do without the resources of staff members to photo and video editors who sift through traumatic images day in and out, we shed light on the stressors journalists face in the course of carrying out their duties. Mental health is a problem in the newsroom, and we need to talk about it. Click here to read the first installment.

A photographer for The Times-Picayune for more than two decades, McCusker paddled through the city's muddy waters in a kayak, day after day, documenting the destruction.

Taylor Swift sounded off on feminism in a wide-ranging interview with Maxim, after she was given the No. 1 slot on the 2015 Maxim Hot 100. In the interview, Swift says she started feeling the effects of sexism as she got older, when she was no longer "just seen as a kid." "Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born," she said. "So to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it's just basically another word for equality." 
The Twin Peaks restaurant chain has revoked the franchise agreement for its Waco, Texas, location following a deadly biker shootout Sunday. "The management team of the franchised restaurant in Waco chose to ignore the warnings and advice from... the police," the corporate leadership said in a statement. "We will not tolerate the actions of this relatively new franchisee and... [are] revoking their franchise agreement." Nine people died and 18 more were injured after a shootout between the Bandidos and Cossacks biker gangs. More than 190 bikers have been arrested. 
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says the National Security Agency's sweeping collection of American citizens' data is completely fine. Fears that the government is spying on law-abiding citizens are "exaggerated and ridiculous," he said in a foreign-policy speech in New Hampshire on Monday. "When it comes to fighting terrorism, our government is not the enemy," he said. "And we shouldn't listen to people like Edward Snowden, a criminal who hurt our country and now enjoys the hospitality of President Putin." A federal court recently ruled that the unwarranted bulk collection of phone records was illegal because what the NSA does exceeds what Congress authorized with the Patriot Act.
Four passengers from the Amtrak train that derailed last week are suing. On Monday, personal-injury lawyers filed a federal complaint on behalf of survivors of the crash that killed eight. In the filing, the plaintiffs blame the derailment on engineer Brandon Bostian, but also on Amtrak for failing to install safety technology that might have prevented the train from speeding into a turn before derailing. Amtrak's liability is capped at $200 million by law, but the lawyers said they plan to challenge that restriction. Another lawsuit was filed last Thursday by an off-duty Amtrak employee.
Former NFL star Warren Sapp pled guilty to solicitation and assault for paying two prostitutes for sexual acts in his Arizona hotel room three months ago. The deal he cut with prosecutors requires him to enroll in two counseling programs, one of which he has already completed and the other that he's currently in. Sapp also paid restitution to the prostitutes: $1,171.24 to one and $150 to another.
A 19-year-old Turkish woman was shot in the head after she decided to join a national singing contest. Mutlu Kaya is in critical condition after an unknown gunman broke into her yard and shot her through the window. She had recently gotten through the singing show's pre-selection, but began receiving death threats from her father's tribe in the southern part of the country. "When they heard that I was going to join the competition, they told me they would kill me. I am afraid," Kaya reportedly told the show's production team. 
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn says he expects Apple to enter the television business next year and the car market by 2020, adding that company will likely "dominate" in these arenas. Icahn also suggested that Apple shares may be worth as much as double their price—putting the company's market value at $1.5 trillion.
