Score one for the First Amendment

Good news, if you haven't heard: The IHSA has figured out that they'd better knock it off. A settlement reached this week puts news photographers back on the sidelines for IHSA events, with no more exclusivity for the IHSA's selected photographer. Big thanks to the Illinois Press Association, the State Journal-Register and the Northwest Herald for pursuing this legally. And for state legislators who placed pressure on the IHSA.

Here's the settlement, from Sangamon County Circuit Court, via the State Journal-Register.
