Gary Suisman, Journal and Courier (Lafayette) Journalist making a difference PHOTO BY DAVID SNODGRESS, HERALD-TIMES (BLOOMINGTON) Virginia Black, senior writer and writing instructor at the South Bend Tribune, speaks to students at this month���s Journalism Job and Career Fair, sponsored annually by HSPA Foundation and Associated Press Managing Editors. Black encouraged students to get involved in their stories, using her experience writing a series on a homeless man named Clarence as an example. Her account about Clarence was named HSPA Foundation���s Better Newspaper Contest Story of the Year in 2011. Bills Continued from Page 1 that notices be placed in local newspapers, the number didn���t change,��� Key said. A more recent survey conducted by Pulse Research of America found that 68 percent of Hoosiers prefer public notices in their newspapers to 2.3 percent who prefer Internet posting. H.B. 1427 now moves to the Indiana Senate. S.B. 373 passed out of the Senate with a vote of 30-20. This bill would criminalize the taking of photos or video of agricultural or industrial operations without the owner���s permission and sharing them with others. Bill author State Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle, wants to stop ���vigilantes��� who post film of farming operations on the Intent showing animals allegedly being treated cruelly, even if the operation is legal. As the bill stands now, it would create a criminal libel situation with action brought by a county prosecutor if the pictures defame the owner of the farm or factory. State Sen. Tim Lanane, D-Anderson, pointed out that S.B. 373 is silent as to whether the truth of the photos or videos would be a defense. The bill also would criminalize sharing video that implies the processing of a crop, say southern Indiana melons, poses a health danger. On a positive note, S.B. 162 passed a final Senate vote 49-1. The bill attempts to make the Indiana Economic Development Corpor�� �� ion at more accountable to the public through greater transparency about its track record in securing Indiana jobs. Bill author State Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, called the bill down for its second reading but did not offer an amendment that would have strengthened the bill���s transparency provisions. Key believes the action indicates some resistance to the amendment, either in the Republican Senate caucus or from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. The bill���s successful thirdreading vote buys Delph more time to improve it, since amendments can be added when the House considers it.
