Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Aging like a fine Dick.
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
Don't put people's age in the headlines, jeez.
Seems valid to show the age if you’re winning an award and the oldest person to ever do so
I'm assuming they also saw the age and jumped ahead into the mourning process.
Put it at the end, otherwise, this is knowing clickbait.
"Dick Van Dyke wins Emmy, at 98" reads very differently than, "Dick Van Dyke, 98, wins Emmy". We're trained to recognize structure of the second as a death announcement.
He's the original Hollywood nice guy and I hope no skeletons come out after he dies because I want to always think of him that way.
Also, I totally do not associate him with soap operas, so I did not expect this at all.
Same lol. Ig when you’re 98, you take whatever gig you think sounds fun
What a great person, and it's amazing to see him sharp and...SPRY at 98.
I think he's had the ring quite long enough
Man he looks good for 98, I hope I look that good at 80.
Another old dude who looks great is William Shatner. He is 93 but I honestly would guess 50s or 60s by looking at him.
His show still holds up
