Feds recognize UO Matters as a news media organization.

10/04/2009: On Friday we received a letter from the US Gov’t recognizing UO Matters as “News Media”, in recognition of our efforts to disseminate factual information regarding the University of Oregon and higher education in general. (We have no idea why they fell for this, but they did.) This apparently means quicker turnaround and a substantial discount on our FOIA requests. Damn I love this country.
