Earlier Poverty Dispatches (back to July 2006):

http://www.irp.wisc.edu/dispatch/

see the links for that date. (Change the month by clicking the link at the
bottom of the calendar.)
OR
3. Click on a category or a tag (right-hand margin) to access all relevant
links.
[ e.g., 588 links under the category "Poverty" - http://www.irp.wisc.edu/dispatch/categories/poverty/
]
OR
4. Scroll down the home page to the Archives section, where you can
view the full content of the dispatches by month*
back to July 2006 (although *some* media links tend to go 404 after awhile)...
NOTE: I highly recommend this excellent U.S. media resource!
[ * The only shortcoming I encountered
was the lack of a table of contents for each daily dispatch, which forces
visitors to click each date in the calendar to see the contents of the daily
dispatch for that day. That's why I created this "expanded" archive
--- the page you're reading now.]

| TIP:
How to Search for a Word or Expression on a Single Web Page Open any web page in your browser, then hold down the Control ("Ctrl") key on your keyboard and type the letter F to open a "Find" window. Type or paste in a key word or expression and hit Enter - your browser will go directly to the first occurrence of that word (or those exact words, as the case may be). To continue searching using the same keyword(s) throughout the rest of the page, keep clicking on the FIND NEXT button. Try it. It's a great time-saver! |
