SND Vision

The Society for News Design has an opportunity to build upon its highly successful and valuable awards programs to share more knowledge back with the journalism design community. This could be done simply and effectively by tapping into the existing knowledge of SND members and award winners, and sharing information back more widely. The SNDs could also increase transparency and information-sharing around its awards process, helping the community to understand what makes for great work in the judges' eyes, and what went into that work from the professionals involved.
