MPA/MPS e-Bulletin

A phone conversation today sparked the idea of checking with all MPA members to see if any had a full time employee who was 83 years of age or older. No need to respond, unless your newspaper has a regular, full time employee who comes to the newspaper office and works every day, and is 83 or older.

We know of one such person (age 83), already, and wondered if there was anyone older still working full time for a MS newspaper. We will look forward to hearing from others with such a full time employee.

Thanks for your attention to this polling of MPA members.

We’re holding the Second Quarter edition of The Fourth Estate for one or two items still out, so this is a final call for any news you’d like to share with fellow members of staff promotions, hires or other items of interest at your newspapers.

Send your items to lbruce@mspress.org.

Hope to see you all on the coast in a couple of weeks.

The letters requesting graphics & verification for the Better Newspaper Contest have gone out all this week – if you haven’t gotten yours yet, you should shortly!

E-mail graphics (JPG, TIFF, PDF preferred) to vbracknell@mspress.org. There is a limit on our system of 4MB per e-mail, so you may have to split the e-mails up if you are sending more than one graphic. If you are sending multiple e-mails, it’s best to send about 10 minutes apart. I will be leaving e-mail running 24/7, and it checks every ten minutes. So if an e-mail should happen to bounce back because my box is full, just give it a few more minutes and try again, or give me a call. — Victoria
