  • FIRST NEWSPAPER DESIGN WEB SITE

    Back in 1994 I first put up a newspaper design site at http://www.infi.net/~netdzine. According to some people that made it one of the first 10,000 sites ever published on the web. Let me know if I can help you with your design. Copyright © 2009-2011 News Design School LLC. All rights reserved. Legal disclaimer.
