Colin Smith of The Villages Daily Sun, center, and Alanna Dvorak of the Poynter Institute conduct the webinar, “Making Emotional Connections Through Design.”

Last week SND conducted three webinars at the Poynter Institute, featuring world-class designers from the Washington Post, Minneapolis Star Tribune and The Villages Daily Sun. These webinars are now archived and available for viewing, along with five previous webinars created in 2017 on design and infographics.

These webinars drew more than 500 participants.

They are free for members. Log into the Members-Only area for the access code, or contact SND executive director Stephen Komives at skomives@snd.org.

We’re thrilled to offer these webinars as a member benefit. Many thanks to the Knight Foundation for support in making these possible. We will be creating more webinars before the end of 2018.
