Calls are needed on public notice advertising legislation
Newspaper people are urged to stay in touch with legislators, particularly senators, on a piece of legislation that PNA strongly opposes. House Bill 1906, Printer's No. 3035 passed the state House on Nov. 1, 2005 and is now before the Senate Judiciary Committee. It would replace newspaper publication of all sorts of corporate formations with ‘posting’ of Pennsylvania Department of State Corporation Bureau records on the World Wide Web.

A New Era of Journalism

Talk with the man who brought the Zombie Nation to a bouncing Beaver Stadium, intimidating the opposition and firing up the fans.
