Forum."> The Independent Internet Press Association's main goals are to
promotes growth and excellence in community journalism through technology,
networking, education and recognition between its members, to gain the legal
right for our members to become the paper of record for their community instead
of, cases where the paper of record is owned by a larger company that is not
resident in your community or you have no paper in you community and must rely
on a paper in another city as the paper of record. The law's were written
previous to the arrival of the Internet, they need to be updated to include
local Internet news sites, not to exclude local papers of record. Simply because
you are a paperless journal and give your news away as a free service to the
community, The laws that were applied previous to the Internet excludes you from
participation's in revenues generated by this law, unless you have a newspaper
that adds a web site then the laws provide them with an unfair business
advantage. We have adopted the same code of ethics as that of
