Dubuque @TelegraphHerald editors: "Belin is recognized as one of Iowa’s top political journalists. [...] This week, for example, she posted an extensive analysis of the applicants for the Iowa Supreme Court — a deep dive we didn’t see anywhere else." https://t.co/6nAtyw4C5B

We would like to give a shout out to our exhibitors for this year’s INA Trade Show. We love seeing their faces and learning about their excellent products and services. Their participation helps underwrite the costs of our Convention so stop by their booths and say hello!

[IowaStateUNews @IowaStateUNews]

The newest edition of #IowaState prof @Michael_Bugeja's book, the "How-To News Writer," is available now on @amazon. The book helps newsrooms to create better content, and proceeds equally support @IowaNewspaper Association and @ISU_GSJC scholarships. That's a win-win-win!

That means 52% gave him a passing grade.

This would bring a SIGNIFICANT reduction in Iowans' right to know and comment on what the legislature is doing on it's behalf.
Randy, in MN, the council, etc. can add something to its agenda the night of a mtg. with a majority vote of the board!

I know they didn’t get the W but this is ⁦@CycloneMBB⁩ winning. Coach Prohm brought sleeper bus so ALL the families of staff could come to game tonight. Some preach “Family” Cyclones live it. So neat. #family

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

With all of the NFL rule changes, the league really needs to consider going to a version of college overtime. If we’re going for a QB emphasized offensive league, let fans see if Mahomes can match Brady in OT. NFL rules have evolved. OT rules should too. @SoundOFF13

“The ag-gag law was clearly a violation of Iowans’ #FirstAmendment rights to #freespeech and it silenced advocates and ensured that #animalcruelty, unsafe food safety practices, #environmental hazards and inhumane working conditions went unreported for years.” #Iowa
