Fun with newspaper design!

We just got through with the first full day of the Society of News Design's annual workshop. Lot's of interesting stuff, but, man, is it ever tiring. At least Knight Ridder is taking those of us from its papers to dinner and drinks tonight!

It was great seeing Deborah Withey again. Deborah led the redesign of the News-Democrat more than four years ago, and I had the privilege of working with her last year for a few days in Detroit. She's now a deputy managing editor for presentation at The Virginian-Pilot.

I also met with Danny Vandegriff, a former colleague of mine at the News-Democrat. He has done well at the Fort Worth Star-Telegraph, and the newspaper's doing some interesting things.

I'm keeping this short because I need time to decompress and let the day sink in.
