Newspaper design, visual journalism, and online video
Vancouver, Calgary and Prince George on Thursday, Friday and Saturday . . . But first, some ski and mountain time to recharge the batteries.
Just sharing a few snaps - more images should be added to the slideshow in the coming days - if not, please send a search and rescue team to look for me!
Warsaw:
A quick-turnaround video and slideshow from today’s talks in Warsaw with publishers and editors at the PressForum conference.
The focus for today was to illustrate strategies for launching and relaunching print titles in tabloid format at PressForum, the gathering of Poland’s magazine and newspaper press.

CMYK at Al-Haram in Cairo, Egypt
The tiles in the floor of the pre-press room at Al-Haram newspaper offices in Cairo, Egypt.
I spent four hours last night documenting and filming at the offices of Al-Haram shadowing the deputy editor as he closes the paper and edits the front page between editions with his night crew. I left at 1 a.m., the editor in charge left two hours later.
I have shot video clips to also let you see what it is like to work on the front page at Egypt’s largest-circulation paid daily newspaper. So stay tuned . . . I am flying back to Chicago in a few hours and it may take a week or so to recalibrate my senses.
I have been living many time zones ahead of normal since 31 January.
Here are some other street scene images I documented today while traveling between Cairo University and the Al-Akbar newspaper offices for on-site consultation visits.
