Statehouse Report launches, Web site of
week
Businesses, organizations can keep a step ahead of legislative
process through new online publication
CHARLESTON,
S.C., 1/29/02 -- South Carolina businesses and organizations
have a new advance-warning legislative information resource
- South Carolina Statehouse Report (http://www.statehousereport.com).
(UPDATE:
On Jan. 30, the SC
Business Review of SC Educational Radio named StatehouseReport.com
its Web site of the week.)
"Statehouse
Report is a legislative forecasting tool for businesses and
organizations," said editor and publisher Andy Brack.
"It provides the kind of advance, inside look at the
House and Senate agendas so professionals can be ready for
what's going to happen in the legislative process."
Brack,
a veteran journalist with more than 18 years of news experience,
said Statehouse Report, doesn't compete with traditional media,
such as newspapers and television.
"It's
easy to figure out what just happened - you just pick up a
newspaper," Brack said. "We're focused on the future.
Statehouse Report fills a niche to help businesses and organizations
keep a step ahead by gaining a better understanding of what's
going to happen in Columbia.
"Armed
with that information, they can be better advocates for their
clients and members. And they can organize their time more
efficiently to be at the Statehouse when they need to be."
Brack,
a communications strategist from Charleston, says he launched
the publication this month after he realized business professionals
wasted a lot of valuable time in Columbia when the General
Assembly was in session.
"They
don't need to be in Columbia all of the time," he said.
"If they subscribe to Statehouse Report, they'll know
what's going to happen ahead of time. Armed with that information,
they can be better advocates for their clients and members.
And they can better organize their time to be at the Statehouse
when they need to be."
Statehouse
Report, published every Friday with research by Assistant
Editor Martha Peeples, is delivered online to subscribers.
The publication's Web site, StatehouseReport.com, offers brief
free summaries of major legislation and a free weekly summary
of a hot legislative issue.
"Statehouse
Report puts important information in the hands of opinion
leaders early," Brack added. "It's a one-stop personal
legislative toolkit."
