Inforrm – February 2012, our busiest month so far

Last month was the busiest ever on Inforrm, with over 60,000 page views.  We reach another milestone in February, passing 1,000 posts.  We would like to thank our readers for their continuing interest in the blog.  We would also like to thank all those who wrote for the blog and to remind readers that we welcome posts on media and legal issues from all perspectives. 

In addition, to comments and thoughts on current events and recent cases we are also interested in drawing attention to new academic work in our areas of interest.  Anyone who is interested in contributing should get in touch at with Inforrm at inforrmeditorial@gmail.com.

We also welcome suggestions from readers on cases or topics which we should be covering and suggestions for re-posts or new links on our home page.
