[AEJMC Newspaper Division list] New name for Newspaper Division?

[Cathy Stablein]

The great international newspaper design organization, now Society of News
Design (SND) started out as The Society for News Designers 25 years ago. In
keeping with its mission, founders¹ ideas and the currency of the
organization, the name was changed twice to the Society of Newspaper
Designers and now to Society of News Design.

I think the name aptly reflects all that is good and inclusive. I suggest
that we stick with the fundamental grounding that keeps us together, and
modernize the name to News Research Division. As newspapers increasingly
have adopted a convergence model, it is important that some academic
organization focus on the gathering, reading, distribution and consequences
of news.
