Given that I missed the boat yesterday on finding front pages from the biggest news story this semester, let me try to make up for that by linking to a very good site that not only shows you some of the best pages but discusses them as well. Visualeditors.com looks like a good site to bookmark if you are considering design as a career option. Check it out.
I found Visual Editors through a blog kept by Mark Matassa, a former colleague at The Seattle Times. Mark has an interesting story about the rush on Wednesday morning to get copies of real newspapers, the kind printed on paper. As Mark says, "A funny thing happened on the way to newspapers' funeral: A bunch of news broke out, in the form of yesterday's historic election, and people decided they wanted a paper. Not just the paper's "content" -- usually available free on their websites -- but the actual, old-school newspaper."
Maybe there's life in the old girl yet. Who said that? Besides my late father-in-law?
See you in class.

John, thanks for the link, which led me to your cool blog. Great mix of stuff, and nice, tight, provocatively written posts. I'll be back.
Would love to catch up sometime and hear how you like teaching.
