    Meta Post: Designing the News Experience

    Khoi Vinh on design and the news

    I thought this talk, by a former design director for the NY Times, might be interesting to dag management, and indeed to authors of the other small blogs that have sprung up since the tumult at the Cafe. Vinh even mentions TPM, among other blogs.

    Most interesting to me was when Vinh stumblingly compared the decline of print journalism with the decline of the Romans or Mayans. I had the feeling that the blogger he was trying to quote had read some of Joseph Tainter's Collapse of Complex Societies, but that Vinh had not.

    Thanks. I'll check this out when I get a chance. In the meantime, I've shifted things around to emphasize the reader blogs, as you can see.
