Bill Gaspard leaving Las Vegas; moving to China
Early this morning, Bill Gaspard – deputy managing editor of the Las Vegas Sun – posted on his Facebook page:
In three weeks, Nelly, Ben and I will be moving to Beijing and we will start new jobs with China Daily shortly after. Will miss the Sun and Vegas, but very excited about the adventure.
The China Daily is a 200,000-circulation English-language daily published in Beijing. Editions are also published in Europe and the U.S.
Bill attended a year of seminary in Springfield, Ill, before switching to Illinois State University and graduating in 1980. He served as art director for the Kansas City Star’s Sunday magazine and then spent 12 years as senior editor for visuals at the San Diego Union-Tribune. He moved to the Los Angeles Times as news design director in 2001 and then moved to Las Vegas in 2005. He served as president of the Society for News Design in 2008 and was site chair for the 2008 annual workship in Vegas.
