Weekend update: Other things found this week:
A reminder to News Division members heading to Toronto next month for the SLA conference: the NewsliBlog will be the place where you can post coverage of the convention as it goes on. Email me at edonovan -at- gmail.com if you're going and would like your own password to post to the blog. I'm helping teach a continuing education course on blogging there, along with Jessica Baumgart of the Harvard News Service and we'll be setting up some other blogs too. Keep an eye out for the news.
