State Bar Investigates New Times Case; Daily Paper Seeks Documentsnew
As we reported late on Friday, all charges against Phoenix New Times have been dropped. The paper and its executives faced charges for publishing Sheriff Joe Arpaio's home address on the internet and for disclosing grand jury information. Now the Arizona Republic is reporting that the State Bar Association has launched an internal investigation into Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and special prosecutor Dennis Wilenchik, in part for their actions in the New Times case. In addition, attorneys for Phoenix Newspapers, Inc., which publishes the Republic, have filed a motion to unseal all transcripts and court filings related to the case. Lastly, New Times reports that the disorderly conduct charge that reporter Ray Stern received last week for looking at public documents has not been dismissed.

Online Ad Growth Being Stunted by Conflicting Measurementsnew
Online advertising is expected to generate more than $20 billion in revenue this year, but questions remains about how much clashing traffic figures will hold the market back, the New York Times reports. Visitor measurements being taken by large online publishers are coming in much higher than the numbers provided by third-party firms like ComScore and Nielsen/NetRatings. The discrepancies are caused by a number of factors, including the use of raw server data (by publishers) vs. extrapolating audience figures based on panel samplings (by third parties). In addition, while the "impression" has largely become the accepted metric used to measure an online audience -- and set ad rates -- each company uses a different methodology to calculate that number, according to the Times. "It's hugely frustrating," the president for media at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia says about the clashing numbers. "It's one of the barriers preventing us from really moving forward."

Yahoo Takes Open-Network Approach to Online Ad Partnershipsnew
"While Google extends its reach to sell ads on sites all over the web, Yahoo is appealing to big-name publishers with a different approach: You sell ads on our portal, we'll sell ads on your sites," AdWeek reports. Partners in the Yahoo network, which so far include WebMD, Forbes.com, Cars.com and Ziff Davis Media, can sell ads on Yahoo sites, and Yahoo can sell ads on partner's sites. "Typical ad network relationships are one way," says Todd Teresi, senior vice president of Yahoo's publisher network. "The open approach is going to become a new paradigm of how partnerships are struck."

Registration for AAN West Conference Now Opennew
This year's AAN West conference was organized a bit differently than years past: A committee of AAN members in Northern California did most of the heavy lifting, and they've put together a wonderful staff training program that includes business, design & production, editorial, and sales tracks. "The committee's focus was on staff training and providing an opportunity to network with others in the alt-weekly world," says the News & Review's Deborah Redmond, who chaired the committee that organized the event. The conference will be held Feb. 1-2 at the the First Unitarian Church in San Francisco. The early-bird registration rate is only $75 for AAN members and $150 for non-members (the rates increase by $25 after Dec. 7). Hotel options include the Cathedral Hill Hotel and the Kabuki Hotel (formerly the Miyako), which is also the site of the Web Publishing Conference that will immediately precede AAN West. (AAN members can also register now for the Web Publishing Conference, although the complete program won't be announced until next month.)
