Founder and originator of "ILR IN THE NEWS"

Stuart Basefsky was the founder and originator of ILR IN THE NEWS.

Prior to the development of a strong Communications and Marketing Office for the ILR School, Stuart took the initiative of developing the service known as "ILR IN THE NEWS."

At first the service was run via e-mail for internal purposes and to inform Alumni about the impact faculty and alumni were having in the public policy arena. The service was made possible by Stuart acquiring access to LEXIS for the ILR School. Starting in July 2004, the service was converted into a Blog format. The archives of this Blog can be found at

This service was to turned over to the Communications and  Marketing Office in July 2010 [note that each posting after that date comes from the ILR School at the bottom of each story instead of from SBasefsky]

When Stuart moved to Gainesville, FL [May 2011] where he continued to work for the ILR School as a lecturer and Director of the IWS News Bureau, the ILR IN THE NEWS service continued on his Blog until September 8, 2014. On that date, the ILR School took the service under its wing where it can now be found at http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/news/ilr-news
