    I have extensive experience with using Macs/Pc's in publishing newspapers,
plus using modems/ file translations materials, etc to import 'foreign'
datadata into page makeup programs.
   I I personally produce a thrice-weekly paper here on Guam using Macs/Pagema
and I have also been responsible for converting newspaper ad makeup department
into using Macs. There is really exciting technology available. At one
paper I used Macs, CD drives (for clip art) Fax modems to receive logos
and other mataerial, plus to send ad proofs to advertisers.
   Having been a newspaper editor and journalist for over 20 years I have
been a part of every transition from Linotype to coldtype, through the years o
Compugraphics Compugraphics Stranglehold on the business to the 'new era' of p
hands-on production of papers by the journalists and artists themselves.

The net isn't the place to talk back and forth on this subject, please send me
if you have further questions.

By the way, if I am also looking for an editor's position, especially on a pap
to make the changeover.
