Seen a link today about a high-schooler suspended after writing names of a few of his classmates into a Death Note book. I'm pleasantly surprised by the reporter, Sean Muserallo, getting basic details right:

The Japanese comic book is about a high school student who rids the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook. Anyone whose name is listed in the book dies.

I'm happy to see the NBC12 website also provides helpful links, including a link to ANN. My happiness is tempered by the fact that they linked live-action movie seen by essentially nobody in America instead of anime, which is actually on the air. But at least they tried.
