I have a few Google News alerts programmed to let me know when my name appears on news websites around the world. It’s neat to see where images run and it’s a lot easier than looking through every single article on major sites every day.
This picture of then Senator Roland Burris that I took in Decatur a couple years ago just ran with an article in the Christian Science Monitor about the US Supreme Court and Illinois’ senate vacancy procedure.
Sometimes I wish my name was a little more unique… I get quite a few results for Stephen Haas the distance runner, Stephen Haas the Chicago real estate agent and Stephen Haas on a middle-school honor roll in Minnesota.
