Fall Conference offers a look at news sharing
As newspapers work harder to produce quality content with limited resources, the Maine Press Association is exploring ways to pool those resources by creating a news sharing arrangement for its members.
2008 Fall Conference program
The MPA’s Fall Conference will be held Oct. 10 and 11 at the Atlantic Oakes Resort in Bar Harbor. Conference registrations should be received by the MPA by Sept. 24. The Atlantic Oakes’ deadline for room reservations is Sept. 10. To make reservations, call 1-800-336-2463. Special room rates of $125 to $143 per night are not guaranteed after Sept. 10. Here is the schedule for the weekend:
