		<title>St. Louis as you&#8217;ve never seen it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems I only post things here when I want something. Right now, I want you to watch this video: The 2011 Society for News Design conference will be in St. Louis; this is a promotional video for that conference. It was created by Brian Williamson, our Flash expert at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I wish I&#8217;d known as a student editor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, I had the opportunity to talk to St. Louis University and Northwest Missouri State University student journalists about social media and multimedia reporting. In 1999, I was the editor of The Northwest Missourian, the weekly student paper at Northwest Missouri State University. My college newspaper adviser, Laura Widmer, recently asked &#8220;What do you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charles Apple moves his blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Visual journalist extraordinaire Charles Apple has moved his blog to the American Copy Editor&#8217;s Society website. Apple, one of today&#8217;s greatest sources for design information and analysis, will continue his daily discussions of newspaper and media design. He&#8217;s off to a great start in his new home &#8212; he&#8217;s been a blogging fool all day. [...]]]></description>

		<title>New must-read for journos: Paper Haters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At work, I used to sit beside the deputy managing editor for news. Part of his job is dealing with the public, and he would share some of the more offbeat reader messages and correspondence. There were some real gems &#8212; cranky &#8220;observations,&#8221; random requests and notes scrawled on newspaper clippings. One of my favorites [...]]]></description>

		<title>My job is to discover the not-so-known</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got to do one of my favorite things on Monday: Sleuthing. A couple of weeks ago, I researched and created an interactive timeline on the ownership history of the St. Louis Rams. A man from New York found that timeline and e-mailed me last week: If you are the RAMS historian, I&#8217;ve got a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A non-libelous error is still an error &#8212; fix it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have several news alerts set up for various projects. Newspaper layoffs. Headlines that start with the word &#8220;man.&#8221; And the Tuskegee Airmen. Last year, I worked on a comprehensive project to document Tuskegee Airmen who had been awarded a Purple Heart. The number was woefully under-reported at eight; so far we&#8217;ve found more than [...]]]></description>

		<title>When life hands you lemons &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spend a lot of time reading about and talking about and blogging about layoffs. A lot of time. &#8220;Lemonade&#8221; is a documentary about 16 advertising professionals who were laid off, and discovered new dreams. It&#8217;s quite inspiring. Watch the whole thing here:]]></description>

		<title>Mapping the &#8216;drunkest&#8217; cities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Men&#8217;s Health has published a list of America&#8217;s &#8220;drunkest&#8221; cities. The title is sexy, to be sure, but inaccurate. These are not the cities that consume the most alcohol. They are the cities with the most alcohol-related crime and deaths. The list was compiled using death rates from alcohol-related auto accidents and alcoholic liver disease, [...]]]></description>

		<title>State of the State: Pop-up edition &#8212; how we did it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon delivered his annual State of the State address on Jan. 20. About a week before, Flash genius Brian Williamson, political editor Christopher Ave and I brainstormed a few ideas to cover the State of the State and the State of the Union for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The biggest, grandest idea [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why do you stay in journalism?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Poynter posed a question on Twitter: &#8220;Journalism survivors: You outwit, outplay, outlast. You still believe in your profession. Tweet your reasons to #whyistay&#8221; The early #whyistay tweets were bubble gum &#8212; sugary sweet and full of hot air. There wasn&#8217;t much substance, or reality. So I posed the question to a few journalists, [...]]]></description>
