(Memo to the staff)
I'm delighted to announced that designer Melissa Angle has been promoted to Senior Designer, effective immediately. In her new role, she'll more formally mentor other news designers and will run the desk as needed in the absence of its management team.
Melissa has designed every news section at the paper, and she absolutely thrives in the pressure-cooker that is A1. From her first day on the front page ("DYER CLEARED"), she has designed some of our most memorable pages: Anarchy in New Orleans, NASA's mission to Mars and the classic "Good Luck, God Speed" shuttle cover for which she won two SND awards this year.
When tough visual challenges arise, she is often the first person editors turn to for solutions. Beyond being a strong creative thinker and technical wizard, Melissa has brought impressive project managment skills to bear on revitalizing Local & State and launching Local InDepth. These sections will continue to be a major area of her focus going forward.
Melissa brings a palpable energy, imagination and good humor to the group each day. I couldn't be more pleased to have her join the Visuals leadership team.
Please join me in congratulating Melissa on her new role!
Now, if they could just find that graphics director...
