The lastest from Kevin Wendt:

Pages from Biloxi's 32-page Sunday edition are up at newspagedesigner. A slightly more edited posting to stop from hogging all the new stuff!

Last night was quite a little scramble with the Rehnquist guy. We had a 10:30 close for the Biloxi paper (that's 7:30 p.m. in San Jose, bringing to two the things I can't ever complain about again: deadline and CCI -- we're using DTI out here, and the learning curve is, well, getting better). So, we got the news at about 11:15. Good ol' chasers...

The big development today is that Biloxi is going to attempt to run its presses down there. We're publishing 20,000-25,000 copies here and attempting to run 20,000-25,000 more down there. Discussions are beginning about how to move the operation back to Biloxi. Opinions vary on how soon a move would be made, but as power and water pressure start to get more consistent, that talk will heat up fast.

Right now, I overheard someone say we've got 17 people in Columbus working with the Sun Herald. They include folks from Biloxi, San Jose, St. Paul, Contra Costa, Aberdeen, Macon, Wichita, Miami -- geez, is that all? What a phenomenal effort by all, both here and especially down in Biloxi.

Also on Sunday, the Sun Herald ran this doubletruck graphic by San Jose Mercury-News folks Pai, Robert Hernandez, Jonathon Berlin and Leigh Poitinge. A PDF of the graphic is here, and an HTML version here.
