The annual College News Design Contest is the academic version of the international SND competition. The categories, for both daily and non-daily papers, range from news to sports to magazine to infographics to multimedia. The two winners of the Designer of the Year categories (one for daily and one for non-daily) each win a $1,000 cash prize. For the first time this year, we're accepting work done at internships as well as for student publications. As long as the designer was a student when the work was published, it's eligible. You can read more and take a look at previous winners at ssnd.missouri.edu. Entries are due in Columbia, Mo., on April 1. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The line between still shooters carrying video cameras and videographers carrying still cameras just got a little more blurred. Cannon announces their 'hybrid' DSLR camera that shoots video as well as it shoots stills.

So I found this on youtube and I they are great. There are four in the set, but this is the best. If you like the idea of telling stories...then listen to Ira and do it well.

Over the last two weeks there have been a number of issues with College Front Page's server. As a result I moved the site over to a new service provider to remedy these problems. Sorry for all of the transition issues. Hopefully the bugs are out, but if you spot anything let me know at brian@collegefrontpage.com. The good news is that the new server will allow CFP to stretch its legs a little more and give me the ability to create some new features in the next few months. I've got ideas, but I'd like to hear yours. Big or small let me know what you'd like to see on CFP in the future. Either email me or put your suggestions in the comments here. Thanks, Brian Immel

David McSwane, editor-in-chief of The Rocky Mountain Collegian, finds himself at the center of a First Amendment rights issue after printing a editorial reading "TASER THIS: F*** BUSH." Is the issue of the profanity, the use of it (large print) or a paper's First Amendment rights?

Check out the coverage of the Multimedia Immersion Summit in Portland, Oregon this week. It's a four day conference (first year ever) running along side the annual NPPA TV/Still/Video summit, but emphasizes more hands on training. Expect to see multimedia projects on the site throughout the week.
