Robb’s flight plans for fall 2008
I will be in Las Vegas next week directing a team of student journalists who will be filing multimedia reports from the APME SND congress.
September and October will have my world in constant motion. These are the next scheduled seminars on my calendar.
The new design for The Examiner has been steadily making its way into the existing editions (Washington and San Francisco) since mid-February. Quietly, without the usual brass bands and reader trauma. Compared to recent flashy redesigns, The Examiner represents a kind of un-design ‘ redesign’ — the goals we developed were based on a core desire to produce an upscale daily news tabloid that works hard to provide daily intelligence in a magazine-style form. A free tabloid with an upmarket quality standard is a first for a daily in the U.S.
What this also meant is we weren’t going to be designing a paper that relies on gimmicks to be noticed. All that matters is that the new design reveal the character of the new Examiner — smart, interesting and relevant to your life today.
Robb Montgomery works with top media houses in Europe, North America and the Middle East to develop new prototypes for news products and to design multimedia and cross platform newsrooms.
