Last night, I went to a newspaper layout meeting. I spent about two and a half hours learning that I pretty much already know how to use Adobe PageMaker, since I know how to use Quark XPress, and they’re largely identical. I also learned that, since most of the section editors are doing their own layout, and the newspaper has something like four or five interns this semester, they probably won’t need any additional help. I did learn about the existence of keychain memory cards and (later, over the phone, from my father) of thumb drives, neither which I think I knew existed. But otherwise the evening was pretty much a wash.
