The Cincinnati Enquirer, a daily morning newspaper, is the highest-circulation print publication in Greater Cincinnati (Ohio) and Northern Kentucky. (The Enquirer publishes a Northern Kentucky edition under the title The Kentucky Enquirer with a front section, though the lead story is usually the same.) A Gannett Co. Inc. newspaper, The Enquirer had a joint operating agreement with the afternoon daily, The Cincinnati Post, and handled all of the business functions of both newspapers. Gannett Co. Inc. notified E. W. Scripps Company, publisher of The Post, in 2004 that they will not renew the JOA again. The Post ceased publishing on December 31, 2007.

CLEVELAND: For the fourth straight year, the Cincinnati Enquirer won the "Best Defense of the First Amendment" in the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists awards. Said the judges: "This newspaper must keep a lot of lawyers busy. An aggressive watchdog, the Enquirer goes after violators of the Ohio Open Meeting Act as well as Cincinnati Police and even Los Angeles County (for failures to make public documents related to tax liens against Pete Rose). The paper's lawyers even argued cases before the Ohio Supreme Court. Keeping public officials aware of the First Amendment is an expensive process that this paper seems willing to bear."

A Cincinnati Enquirer examination late last month of 63 public school websites in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky shows that 73 percent don't list direct phone numbers for school board members; 40 percent don't offer direct e-mail addresses. And 33 percent of school systems offer neither. Public school boards make decisions that affect thousands of families. They control the spending of millions of tax dollars, reports Michael D. Clark. They decide sweeping policy issues -- be it reassigning students among buildings, proposing tax increases or deciding whether to require drug tests to participate in student activities. Yet in many cases, people who want to be heard on such important issues get no help when it comes to using school district websites.
