Name: Andy Bechtel From: UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States About me: I teach editing and writing at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill. I'm interested in new ways to tell news stories and in the ethical and political ramifications of word choices (terrorist surveillance program, domestic spying or something in between?).
I have 12 years of experience in newspaper editing, most recently at The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C.
Alan Jacobson of BrassTacks Design writes provocatively about how to sell more newspapers, focusing on big changes in layout and news judgment in Bakersfield, Calif., and Waterbury, Conn. He also likes Maxim magazine.
