Changes at Power Reporting

The links are no longer being updated at Power Reporting, which for 12 years has been a free resource for journalists, while trying to help journalists integrate public records and Web research with daily and enterprise reporting.

Thanks to everyone who contributed time and suggestions through the years.

If a university journalism program or nonprofit association is interested in using this domain as an aid to journalists or journalism, drop me a line. Contact Bill Dedman. I don't think whoever takes over the site has to make it what it was. The name is flexible enough that it could be used for public records, crowdsourcing, computer-assisted reporting, etc.

Newsroom training is still being offered by Power Reporting in computer-assisted reporting, public records, writing and editing. Schedule a session for your newsroom.
