Steve Johnston, who has compiled these Announcements since 2004, suspects the Announcements may need to change to be more useful to readers during this period of digital-only events and lots of distractions from the public policy issues the Forum has regularly focused on. If you have requests, suggestions or observations, please send Steve an e-mail.
