As we all deal with changing times, so is APSE. Starting with the October newsletter, we're going in a new direction – at least for one newsletter – to try just to post stories on our Web site instead of printing a paper newsletter or a .PDF file.

This will do several things:
1. It will allow us to post more news. In fact, stories for the month of October total about 1,300 inches. There will be great stories on sports sections and ads, sports sections and the internet, discussions on football sections, live reports from China and the Olympics, sports section and space, sports section and humor, what will eliminate if we had to make more cuts, and our usual stuff from columns to journalists moving from job to job and an update on the 2007 conventions.
2. It will allow us to update information in a timely fashion. It will allow us to continually update the case against the two San Francisco reporters.
3. It will allow us not to have use 4,144 pages to try to print out a .PDF file. Making this move isn't for cost-cutting measures. It's just something new. To be honest, for me, it was a pain the butt to try to read the .PDF on my screen and then figure out how to print it.
And most importantly, this is an opportunity for people to continually check back with the APSE Web site as you might do with poynter.org or sportsjournalists.com or editorandpublisher.com and various other journalism Web sites.
We owe a big thanks for Chuck Grimes of The Dallas Morning News for updating the Web site.
Let me know if you like this idea and what suggestions you may have. We're fluid.
Thanks,
