Last month it was revealed that the Cook County state's attorney subpoenaed emails, grades, and notes and recordings of witness interviews from students at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism who were investigating a 1978 homicide case for the school's Innocence Project. Today, AAN sent a letter to the state's attorney citing "grave concerns" about her actions and urging her to reconsider the subpoenas. "Our members are concerned whenever the values of a free press are threatened," reads the letter, written by AAN First Amendment chair Tim Redmond, "and we believe the actions by your office do just that."

As we announced on Monday, AAN's longtime executive director, Richard Karpel, is stepping down to take the same position at the American Society of News Editors. AAN has placed ads to find his successor on four websites and has received more than 20 applications thus far. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors will do an initial screening of the candidates later this month; after this is complete, President Mark Zusman will appoint a separate committee that will likely meet and interview the finalists and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors.

Richard Karpel, who joined the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies as its executive director in July 1995, is leaving AAN for the same position at the American Society of News Editors. His last day will be Nov. 25, although he has agreed to help the association in an unofficial capacity after that date to assist in the transition to a new staff chief executive. "I have been at AAN for the better part of my adult life, and it has been an incredible ride," he says. "I want to thank all of the AAN members past and present who have made my time here such a rich and rewarding experience." MORE: Here's ASNE's announcement.
