Birthdays for Wednesday, Jan. 14
Here’s wishing the happiest of VizEds birthdays today to a couple of very special folks…
Bonita Burton is the Deputy Managing Editor for Visuals at the Orlando Sentinel. The redesign she and her team launched last summer was one of the highlights of 2008 for the news design community.
Martin Smith-Rodden is a photo editor at the Virginian-Pilot, one of the great unsung heroes behind the nation’s best-designed newspaper. You won’t find anyone more knowledgeable or helpful than Martin.
Martin and Bo share a birthday with journalists Maureen Dowd and Andy Rooney, writers Lewis Carroll and Anais Nin, McDonald’s founder Ray Croc, doctor Albert Schweitzer, filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, actor Humphrey Bogart, and rapper/actor LL Cool J.
In addition, today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day. Seriously.
Have a great birthday, y’all!
