    To: WIU’s Board of Trustees and Student Publications Board Feb. 2, 2015 This is from a few folks who care about Western Illinois University and about Freedom of the Press. As you may know, WIU’s student newspaper, the Western Courier, has a history of producing good work and good alumni, from Civil Rights pioneer C.T. Vivian and Fulbright Scholar David Heinz to Pulitzer Prize- winning reporter Mark Konkol and hundreds of lesser-known contributors. It’s faced challenges ranging from being kicked off campus (it survived) and a libel lawsuit (it prevailed) to returning to campus (it improved) and threats of withholding funds or pressure from Sherman Hall (…). As you may not know, WIU Vice President Gary Biller’s Jan. 22 suspension of Courier editor Nicholas Stewart, because his freelance report on a Dec. 12 campus fracas was picked up by other media, has caused considerable commotion on campus and beyond, with objections by individuals and groups of journalists, First Amendment advocates and everyday citizens. Biller wrote that Stewart “poses a threat to the normal operations of the University” (a surprising charge when real problems exist, such as inadequate state support and enrollment). Biller accuses the undergrad of “committing acts of dishonesty [such as] attempting to represent the University, any recognized student organization, or any official University group without the explicit prior consent of the officials of that group”; “engaging in act of theft or abuse of computer time including … unauthorized financial gain or commercial activity”; and “committing violations of rules and regulations duly established and promulgated by other University departments,” all under the Code of Student Conduct.

  • Independent Maps – Year-‐End Report
    Independent Maps – Year-End Report As we begin a new year and head into the final months of our petition drive, we reflect upon our progress over the past year and look forward to big things in 2016. Since our petitions first hit the streets at the end of April, more than 483,000 Illinoisans have signed petitions to put the Independent Map Amendment on the November 2016 ballot. That’s just the number of signatures turned in so far. We know volunteers have collected thousands more and continue to circulate petitions. (Send in those completed sheets for processing, please. We are validating completed petitions as soon as you send them to us.) When we launched the petition drive on April 28, we set an ambitious goal of collecting 600,000 signatures. When we surpass that goal this spring, we will have about 100,000 more signatures than were collected in the 2014 effort and more than twice the number of signatures required to put a constitutional amendment before voters. We have strengthened our quality control, and we are confirming signatures using the state’s voter files. 2016 PETITIONS 600,000 483,000 290,000 REQUIRED COLLECTED GOAL We’re on target to surpass our goal of 600,000 signatures, but we still have much worK to do. How did we get off to such a strong start? The short answer is people all over Illinois want their votes to count and their voices to be heard. And here are some of the details: executive director, veteran Illinois political ! We’re led by a bipartisan, diverse board of reform leader Cindi Canary, helped recruit civic, community and business leaders.

  • A Brief History of the IPA
    A Brief History of the IPA Since its beginnings as an organization for Illinois publishers, the Illinois Press Association has grown to serve a diverse group of family and chain newspaper owners, editors and reporters, clients and advertising representatives, and editorial writers and politicians. That's quite a balancing act. The scales remain level because of IPA and Illinois Press Foundation programs that support educational efforts in journalism, its lobbying efforts in the state legislature, and its movements to raise the standards of writing, editing and advertising through professional seminars and workshops. These missions did not appear overnight. They evolved with the help -- and sometimes the prodding -- of Illinois newspaper publishers for more than a century. Lovejoy & Early Illinois Journalists Turbulence characterized the political climate of the mid-1800s in Illinois. Abolitionists argued with pro-slavery forces throughout the very state that claimed Abraham Lincoln as its favorite son. Elijah P. Lovejoy was the epitome of the activist publisher prevalent in the 1800s. After being driven out of St. Louis for his views, the Presbyterian minister launched the crusading Alton Observer in 1837 with one mission: to agitate for the abolition of slavery. Lovejoy had been driven from St. Louis the year before because of his abolitionist ideas. As his circulation grew from 500 to 2,500 in six months, vandals destroyed his printing presses three times. Even his friends suggested Lovejoy temper his publication. "I cannot surrender my principles, though the whole world besides should vote them down," Lovejoy wrote. "I can make no compromise between truth and error, even though my life be the alternative." His words proved prophetic.

  • Suburban Corruption Takes Different Forms Ranging from Officials Hiring Family Members to Police Chiefs Protecting Criminals
    1 The City of Chicago attracts local, national, and even international attention for its long and salient culture of corruption. But the media and the general public tend to overlook the abundant political and public corruption that also exists in many of the region’s suburbs. Patronage, nepotism, cronyism, abuse of power and criminal activity flourish, sometimes for decades, in numerous city halls, police stations and special purpose government agencies in suburbs surrounding Chicago and in the collar counties. Public corruption has afflicted the north, south, and west suburbs. It impacts upper income and lower income villages, towns and cities. More than 130 individuals have been convicted of corruption related schemes in the suburbs since the 1970s, including more than 100 public officials in the last two decades. Far from being an escape from the corrupt practices of the big, bad city, many of the suburbs seem determined to imitate them. There are six categories of corruption-related convictions in suburban Chicago: 1) Public officials with ties to organized crime 2) Nepotism 3) Police officers aiding or extorting criminals 4) Kickbacks and bribes to officials and administrators 5) Large Development Projects 6) Stealing of funds by leaders of school districts and special purpose districts This report shows how suburban corruption takes different forms ranging from officials hiring family members to police chiefs protecting criminals. Cumulatively the many examples in this report contradict the common perception that while Chicago is corrupt, the suburbs have clean, open, and effective governments. In fact, corruption impacts a large number of local 2 governments throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and it has persisted for decades.

  • December 4, 2017 the Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washi
    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.
