The Pennsylvania Senate - DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION
In past years, radio reporters not paying rights fees to broadcast a game could attend the PIAA wrestling/basketball playoffs and championships free of charge. The PIAA arbitrarily changed this policy and began refusing free radio news credentials. This refusal did not apply to newspaper reporters. The PIAA also refuses free credentials to radio stations if the PIAA determines the event is not in that station’s "listening audience’s interest." Free or complimentary credentials to media personnel are not addressed in the PIAA Rules or Regulations.

Mr. Hopkins informed Mr. Wyckoff that the change in policy had been instituted to "correct alleged abuses" in the past when credentials were given to nonmedia. Reporters from ... [Read More]

National Digital Newspaper Program: Request for Proposals for Phase One
NEH is soliciting proposals from institutions to participate in the development of a test bed for the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). Ultimately, over a period of approximately 20 years, NDNP will create a national, digital resource of historically significant newspapers from all the states and U.S. territories published between 1836 and 1922.

LC will also digitize and contribute to the NDNP database a significant number of newspaper pages drawn from its own collections during the course of this partnership between NEH and the Library. ...
