MARCH ARTICLES 2001 Boot Camp scheduled for July 16-August 3 In an attempt to address one of the most important issues facing our industry, the lack of newsroom employees, KPA has scheduled the 2001 Journalism Boot Camp. The training, dubbed a “boot camp” because of the intensive training over a relatively short period, is designed to provide additional training for inexperienced newsroom employees or allow newspapers to hire a person from the community who has potential, but no journalism background.
Newspaper delivery is finally made...17 months later; September 16, 1999. That was 17 months ago. Some 68 weeks. Would you believe that's how long it took for one bundle of the Edmonton Herald News to make it to its subscribers. And no, this isn't an April Fool's story. It really did happen. Five Named to Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame Guy Hatfield, former Kentucky Press Association president and owner of Hatfield Newspapers, Inc., is among the journalists that will be inducted into the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame. The induction ceremonies are scheduled for noon Thursday, April 12, at a luncheon at the Hilary J. Boone Faculty Center at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The hall of fame, sponsored by the UK Journalism Alumni Association, inducts journalists who are natives of Kentucky or have spent substantial periods of their careers in Kentucky.
