COLUMBIA, MO- Reliance upon America's community newspapers to inform and empower citizens remains strong along Main Street America from coast to coast. In a follow-up to the National Newspaper Association's landmark 2005 research on readership patterns for community newspapers, NNA found that readership of community newspapers increased slightly (from 81 percent in 2005 to 83 percent in 2007). This is in stark contrast to news reports purporting to chronicle the decline, if not demise, of newspapers.
Report accomplishments, missteps of high school athletes The suspension of high school athletes is newsworthy, especially when it affects a game's outcome. Newspapers also can make a case that by identifying the disciplined youths, they are looking out for their best welfare – though that may not be immediately recognized by students, parents or coaches.
By John Foust It’s no secret that children are curious. They are like sponges, constantly asking questions, soaking up all the information they can. I recently heard that the typical child asks half a million questions by the age of six. (No doubt, there are many parents who feel their sons or daughters ask that many on a single Saturday.)
LOSS PREVENTION UPDATE By P. Blake Keating Loss prevention practices – implemented, practiced and perfected over time - will reduce legal liability for media companies. These programs include training, internal oversight procedures, legal review and prompt response to complaints for the retraction or correction of offending or infringing content.
by Kevin Slimp, January 2008 Each year, December offers me the opportunity to do something a little different. Because the convention and training world slows so much between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, December allows me to take on projects I normally wouldn’t be able to fit in.
by Kevin Slimp, February 2008 A funny thing happened to me the other day. Not “ha ha” funny - interesting funny. My wife, who directs a non profit counseling program here in Knoxville, called to say she had just learned that the organization that funds her program is sending several secretaries to an InDesign class being held at a downtown hotel next month.
by Kevin Slimp, February 2008 I asked a couple of buddies - one at a large metro paper, the other at a mid-size daily - what camcorder they were sending with their reporters these days. I got the same answer from both, which led me to shell out a few dollars (yes, out of my own pocket!) for a Flip Ultra. The Flip Ultra is the latest version of Pure Digital’s best-selling video camera. |
