The 'Society for News Design' (SND) is an international organization for professionals working in the news sector of the media industry, specifically those involved with graphic design, illustration, web design and infographics.
Founded in 1979, it is a United States-registered non-profit organization with around 2,600 members worldwide. Among other activities, it runs an annual Best of Newspaper Design competition open to newspapers from around the world at Syracuse University every February, and a yearly conference (rotating through various cities) that brings in visual journalists from all over the world. The 2007 conference will be held in Boston from October 11-13, 2007.
SND also has a number of offshoot organizations, including student chapters (the largest including those at Ohio University, Michigan State University, the University of Missouri–Columbia and Syracuse University) and international chapters.
Leadership positions in SND last one year. While the positions are decided on by election, most positions are often won by prior position holders in a hierarchical style.
Current leadership includes:
★ 'President:' Scott Goldman, Assistant Managing Editor of Visuals, The Indianapolis Star
★ 'Vice president:' Gayle Grin, Assistant Managing Editor of Design and Graphics, The National Post
★ 'Secretary/treasurer:' Matt Mansfield, Deputy Managing Editor, San Jose Mercury News
The organization publishes a number of publications throughout the year:
★ A yearly full-color book featuring images of the winners of the 'Best of Newspaper Design' competition
★ 'Design Magazine,' a quarterly full-color magazine notable for changing its typography with every issue and focusing on the latest newspaper design trends
★ 'SND Update,' a monthly magazine/newsletter printed in black and white that tends to focus more on organization-related events
SND holds a number of regional and international events, with the purpose of educating and allowing opportunities for members to network.
The Society for News Design's annual fall workshop rotates through various cities around the world. Although generally in the United States, the workshop has visited locations in Canada, Puerto Rico, Denmark and Spain.
The weekend-long event features a number of guest speakers on a variety of topics along with critiques, an auction and a formal dinner.
Upcoming workshops include:
★ '2007:' Boston, Park Plaza Hotel. Site chair: Dan Zedek, Boston Globe
★ '2008:' Las Vegas, Red Rock Hotel and Casino. Site chair: Bill Gaspard, Las Vegas Sun
★ '2009:' Buenos Aires, Argentina
★ '2010:' Denver
★ '2011:' St. Louis
SND Orlando 2006 hosted the "The Intern" competition. Ten students were chosen from a pool of applicants to compete for internships at The San Jose Mercury News, The Orlando Sentinel, and The Arizona Republic. The students competed for a week and attended the conference, where the winners were announced.
Throughout the year, SND members put on a number of one-to-two-day educational quick courses held throughout the world and designed to focus on a specific visual journalism topic. Upcoming events include:
