I'm so tired of talking to designers who refuse to respect a paper because it doesn't approach the standards sanctioned by SND types. It's like we're hellbent on becoming a mutual-admiration society regardless of how far our circ numbers sink. I agree with Been There & Done That.

Sometimes I think we're working for contests rather than our readers. Probably the ads should say: "If you think you're working for SND, then go to the next ad. If you want to do things for our readers, then come here." I see what that last person is saying.

There is much more to a media company than how its front page looks. If you haven’t noticed, the Little Rock paper is holding its own in circulation, and is No. 1 in the country for penetration. The reporters are doing great work and generally (it is a newspaper) are pretty happy. To rate Gannett better than WEHCO shows you have no idea what you are talking about. You can persuade a newspaper owner into changing his view on design. You can’t wash the darkness out of their soul. In the grand scheme of things, I’ll take a solid profitable company that values its employees over a snazzy front page and a vapid, evil ownership. And apparently subscribers don't mind the layout either, at least not enough to stop buying the paper. Maybe it we remember that we are publishing papers for subscribers not each other or contest judges, we'd be in better shape.
