Earlier this month, syndicated cartoonist Lloyd Dangle released his latest collection of "Troubletown" comic strips, Troubletown Told You So: Comics That Could've Saved Us From This Mess. With an introduction by the Stranger's Dan Savage, the book "captures the current situation in America, a moment in time that will go down in history as our country's most boneheaded," Dangle says in a statement. "Crude comics full of insults and nasty takedowns are the only fitting way to explain it." First published in the San Francisco Bay Guardian in 1988, "Troubletown" now appears in over a dozen AAN member papers.
AAN members were well-represented when the South Florida Chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists announced the winners of the 2007 Sunshine State Awards Saturday night. New Times Broward-Palm Beach took home three first-place awards, and Miami New Times had one first-place finish. Those two papers and Creative Loafing also accounted for 10 second- and third-place awards in the yearly contest.
Career services coordinator Gina Boubion will attend this year's convention to talk to prospective students about mid-career programs at Columbia, and to connect with editors who are looking to hire both entry-level and more experienced journalists. "Every year more and more of our students come to Columbia to advance their investigative and narrative skills, and they've definitely gotten the message from us and their professors that the alt-weeklies are fertile ground for doing the kind of journalism they crave to do," Boubion says.
