MANAGING TODAY ONGOING CHALLENGE IN TODAY'S MULTIMEDIA NEWSROOMS
There are dozens of books about managing change. But how about just managing today – midnight to midnight – in multimedia newsrooms?

Bob Stover of Florida Today offers tips on how today's busy managing editors can juggle the competing demands of feeding the web and, oh yeah, put out a daily newspaper.

Get the details by clicking here.

WINNING AP PHOTOS
A Powerpoint presentation of AP's photo contest winners is now online at APME.com. It's a 20-megabyte file, so allow time for the download. But the images are worth the short wait.

YOU MAKE THE CALL
Need some advice on a sticky ethical question? APME News includes a regular feature called "You Make the Call" that may be just what you need.

You can pass along your questions to Rick Hall, managing editor of The Deseret News at rhall@desnews.com or (801) 237-2110.
