If you wrote a book though, wouldn't much of the useful information become dated by the time it was published?

Personally, I think you'd have to use a medium with great immediacy like the Internet. And then, you'd be looking at competition from people who already do it, sites "More Room Throughout," PGary's site, all the FlyerTalk forums and others.

BTW, if any of you journalists oversee education reporters, a quick advertisement for seminars put on by Columbia University Teacher's College (Hechinger Institute for Education and the Media) - they host seminars for education reporters and editors from major newspapers throughout the country.

Last time I flew, it was to a Hechinger seminar in Racine, Wisconsin. U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige was one of the presenters, got to visit with him a lot, not everyday I get to rub shoulders with a guy like that, you know. These seminars are first-rate, and most of the expenses are paid by Hechinger and various foundations so your newspaper only has pay a minimal amount for a reporter or editor to attend.
