News is great but many parts of our new world are centered around
news/information with information centers being a term that is
encompassing online, print and other electronic communications like

Susan, 

I agree that industry-specific names don't work well these days for our
converging communications system for all the reasons you mentioned. 

 

I wonder whether something simple like NEWS would be appropriate. On the
other hand, perhaps it is too narrow as our division is concerned with
all parts of the newspaper industry, but all parts of the industry
impact in one way or another the NEWS aspect. 

 

Just a thought. I am glad that a name change will be discussed in
Chicago. 

 

Dorothy
