Newsroom Chatter
I just signed on to become a member of the VisualEditors.com online forum. It's an oasis of information. If you are involved in anything visual for a news publication, here is where you can iron out your thoughts, vent or otherwise discuss among peers, role models and mentors the ideas behind presenting your work or the work of others in the most elegant and useful manner.
“VizEds publishes industry news, coordinates education, reporting and training resources and enables interaction with journalists from around the world.”
This is the brainchild of Robert Motgomery, the news design editor at the Chicago Sun-Times and adjunct professor at the Medill Graduate School of Journalism at Northwestern University.
Brotherly Love
Career development is one of those ephemeral things that unfortunately gets shoved off onto the back burner. Big mistake, especially if you are an artist. It ought to be a life-long pursuit. And, I am no fan of the “starving” artist syndrome. There really shouldn't be any excuses for that to happen to any of us.
If you are in Philadelphia, or 100 miles from the City of Brotherly Love, for example, check out: The Center For Emerging Visual Artists.
Seek out similar organizations within your own neighborhood or state that supports visual artists. And if you know of any, please email me so that I can add them to this web site.
