Two more friends and one husband laid off. The economy officially stinks. Media layoffs don’t surprise now. But architects, software engineers and my husband, the fabulous graphic designer? Enough with the layoffs. No happy nugget for me this week.
If you want a glimmer of hope, check out the Newsweek article about consumer savings, confidence and [...]
No resident of Rhode Island is more than a 30 minute drive from the water’s edge. Could explain the overwhelming amount of wedding photographers in the state. Ocean, sand, sun screams for a beachfront wedding. Four brave photojournalists make Rhode Island, our region 1 talent search location, their base. Bucking the trend, they are covering [...]
I’m talking to you Connecticut when I say make those images lower rez on your websites. We are circling back to our survey of member photographers and the Constitution State is in the spotlight.

Non-scientific method of selecting the photog for the day? Roaming the ‘Find A Photographer’ feature on nppa.org.
One thing I learned about [...]
One of my specialties as a photo editor is the inter/national assignment. On the blog, I tend to talk about photographers on a global scale more than from a local, region 1 perspective. So last week, I challenged myself to a local talent search. First state: Massachusetts. Source: the NPPA ‘Find a Photographer’ service. I [...]
NPPA Region One is proud to announce it is co-sponsoring the photojournalism track at the New England Press Association convention in February.

I’ve been busy over the holiday season, but not that busy. Before any bidding happens, I would need a job.
The Times needs cash. Former ad exec Jack Connors told the Boston Globe: “There’s nothing to it. I’m not buying the Boston Globe. I’m not buying anything that the New York Times owns.” Boston Herald publisher [...]
In an attempt to stay afloat in a leaky boat, The Journal Register Co. closed 16 weeklies resulting in 21 reporters and editors lost jobs. The closings were split equally between the Shoreline division and Elm City chain.
Shoreline: Shore Line Times, Pictorial Gazette, East Haven Advertiser, Branford Review, Clinton Recorder, Regional Standard, The Dolphin and [...]
