The Virginia Pro Chapter, Society of Professional Journalists and VPA will sponsor a luncheon session, “FOI 2008: Where We Are and Where We’re Going,” from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, June 5 at VPA Headquarters in Glen Allen.
Featured presenter for the session is Craig Merritt, a partner in the Richmond law firm of Christian & Barton and an attorney representing VPA and media outlets on Freedom of Information Act issues. Merritt will discuss the high points of Freedom of Information Act changes in the 2008 General Assembly from the view of the working journalist. He also will highlight trends that appear to be developing, especially areas where the press needs to be vigilant.
The session is free to attend, and lunch will be available for $10. Advance registration is required and must be received by May 30. Registration form and optional lunch menu available online at http://www.vpa.net/images/pdf/merritt-flier-download.pdf.

You will simply add a piece of code to the footer on your site pages. You can then log back in to Google to track a great deal of statistics. I have used it on other sites and found it was helpful and simple to use.
Advertisers will appreciate getting your site audience numbers from a credible and objective third-party source rather than from server logs.

I’d be interested to hear what others think of this change. Is it reflective of how the industry needs to change, too?

]]>Is there a way to filter out pdfs in this google search form. The search works well but is also looking up “duplicate subscriber pdfs”. They have been there for years so it would take forever to eliminate them from the google data base and probably will still have broken links when someone does a search.
