Former U.S. Attorney to Speak at First Amendment Lunch

David C. Iglesias is the former federal prosecutor for the District of New Mexico whose revelation about receiving an improper phone call from Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) was the spark that ignited the scandal presently engulfing U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez and the Bush Administration. Iglesias will join us for lunch in Portland on Saturday, June 16, for our annual celebration of a free press, where he will be interviewed by Santa Fe Reporter editor Julia Goldberg. You've probably heard about Iglesias' role in the DOJ scandal, but did you know that the former United States Navy Reserve Captain was the basis for the character played by Tom Cruise in the movie A Few Good Men?

Man Sues Alt-Weekly for Running Ladies' Night Adsnew

Steve Horner has been agressively suing bars and clubs that offer women free admission or special drink deals for discrimination since the early '90s. Now he's apparently moving on to more substantial targets. "I've put my money to frying bigger fish," he tells Denver's Westword. He's filed a complaint against the alt-weekly for publishing "at least 30 discriminatory ads" featuring the dreaded ladies' night over a five month period, and is asking for $15,000 in damages (roughly $500 per ad).

Newspapers Continue to Struggle With How to Make Money Onlinenew

As advertising revenues for many print products stagnate or worse, most publishers are seeing enormous growth in online ad revenue. That's the good news. But as Editor & Publisher notes, many papers are grappling with how to grow online revenue quickly enough to replace lost print sales. The three big issues yet to be resolved in the digital transition, as seen by E&P, are that there is no "universally accepted norm" for audience measurement; behavioral targeting is still a fledgling practice; and "experiments in paid content are so few, and far from resounding successes."
