It is pretty interesting. What did you do in newspaper?


Mostly ad design & layout. But I've done just about everything else
too. I was the art department manager for years at a large metro
newspaper but at the smaller ones, I did everything from writing copy
to photographs all the way to catching the papers coming off the press.

Sounds like you've done it all. That must have been so interesting.

We listened to a columnist talk last quarter, and she talked about
different aspects of the paper. Sounded like they were a great team and
had a blast.

I also did a little newsletter for a rabbit rescue group and I did the
same thing with pictures. I'd find the funniest rabbit pictures on
websites but would not use them unless I got permission. It was tempting
though, there are some incredible pictures out there.

I'm afraid to. Some people are nuts about it. I used a portrait of my
grandmother in a "Pioneer Days" layout, and a woman called claiming it
was some ancester of hers, who had not been dead for the required time
to be in public domain, and was gonna sue us. Sheesh. Even though she
was wrong, that was a wake-up call for me. To learn that there *are*
people out there ready to sue you.

That is pretty wild!

Hmmm, maybe that was a long-lost cousin?

Good luck with your class!

Thanks, Sherry.

Not just ready to sue you....they are actively and avidly searching the
net in order to *find* you. She didn't come across your site by
accident!

eek, one can only hope not!
