About this Blog

Welcome to the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association's legal and legislative Blog. We hope to use this Blog to communicate with our members (and others) about legal and legislative developments in Pennsylvania, including court decisions, laws and regulations, and legislative proposals that are likely to impact the news media. As a proponent of more open government, we will also track issues and disputes relating to public records and meetings, including the decisions and advisories issued by Pennsylvania's new Office of Open Records.

The Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA) is the statewide trade association for the print media in Pennsylvania. Our mission is to advance the interests of Pennsylvania newspapers, promote the importance of a free and independent press, and provide a forum for critical and innovative thinking about the future of journalism and the newspaper industry.

Feel free to post comments, if you are so inclined, and please check back often for our take on legal and legislative issues affecting the media in Pennsylvania.
