Radio writer pleads guilty in child pornography case
Article Abstract:
A freelance journalist who has worked for Maryland public television and National Public Radio has pleaded guilty in Federal District Court to violations of child pornography laws. The guilty plea was entered after the reporter's First Amendment defense was dismissed by the Federal court's judge. The reporter's lawyers are pursuing a strategy of having the case overturned through appeal by offering a First Amendment defense based on a journalist's right to write about the issue of child pornography. The reporter, who was indicted in July 1997, had been arrested after he contacted a Federal agent who was posing as a child pornography trader.

In a revised campaign, American Business Press drops familiar faces in favor of anonymous eyes
Article Abstract:
The American Business Press has revised its advertising efforts to build recognition for its member trade publications. The association, which is comprised of 123 companies which publish more than 1,134 titles, once ran advertisements that featured well-known personalities reading trade publications. Its new effort, one designed by Bozell Worldwide, eschews familiar personages in favor of a pair of large, eyes which are supposed to be those of an executive. Accompanying this image is the campaign's theme, "First read of decision makers." The ads go on to explain that knowledgeable executives rely on the business-to-business media.
