"EBooks are content. They're the work of content companies that create words and narratives for people who want information. Any special section, extended report or beloved series of 20,000 words or more than you create or have created for your newspaper or website can become an eBook. If you're covering a geographic community, you should have an eBook guide to that community that you're selling to travelers or people relocating to the area. If there's a special event or sports team in your community that brings in visitors, you should publish a fresh edition of an eBook covering them each year. If you're creating content, then why not leverage that content through the eBook market, as you do through the Web and other media?"

"Noted South Florida attorneys Norm Kent and Russell Cormican of Kent & Cormican PA, along with the South Florida chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday challenging Fort Lauderdale’s ban on all photography – amateur or professional – within several hundred yards of the filming of the Hollywood movie Rock of Ages, starring Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Alec Baldwin.
Fort Lauderdale police have told at least two professional photographers they cannot shoot from a public area, and the policy precludes anyone from taking pictures even as they dine at restaurants that are within a city block of Revolution, the nightclub movie producers have rented for the past few weeks."
