I'm a design team leader, dispatched to work on The Observer's Newsgate/Newsdesk upgrade. CCI calls us "expert users."
Charlotte, Raleigh and Rock Hill are working together and networking with folks in Kansas City and Fort Worth as well to learn and move fast.

I was fortunate to be on the receiving end of a multimedia story yesterday. A couple of photographers from The Observer did a slideshow with sound about a new organ at my church.
Makes me realize there's great wisdom in the idea that every journalist should be the subject of a story to learn what it feels like.

Regret never having him as a prof. But his "Vanishing Newspaper" gave me much-needed perspective for a paper last semester. Paraphrasing one of his quotes (that I've saved somewhere):
"The challenges in newspapers now are not part of a cyclical downturn in the economy. We have to change."
Coming from a guy with lots of historical perspective, companies need to listen up.
Sometimes I wish we had a wide-open reader gallery like yours. Our current reader galleries are constrained into rather specific topics, which can exclude completely random photos.
I'm not a fan of VMIX. The Star uses it for video, and to deploy Flash slideshows. I find its interface cranky at best. Case in point: in your sample, there's no slideshow-style navigation (as there is in your live reader gallery).
Glad to hear of your interest in this topic. I'm hoping to meet more folks like you on this network.
