Wilderness News Online
The Quetico Superior Foundation has a long-held tradition of objective and balanced reporting on the issues that face the lakes country of the MN and Ontario border. From reporting on the Boundary Waters Blowdown of 1999, to new threats of invasive species, Wilderness News seeks to involve scientists, educators, writers, non-profits, advocates, photographers, and all who are concerned with the Quetico Superior eco-region in a quarterly newsletter that reaches readers across the globe.

E&A has enjoyed a long relationship with the QSF, among our collaborations – the newsletter redesign in 2001. In 2009, we embarked on extending this highly successful newsletter to the web, in ‘blog’ format, to satisfy two critical needs: report on wilderness issues on a more timely basis, and reach out to new audiences. Also paramount to the QSF: maintaining their high standard of balanced reporting, with inspirational imagery and community focus, in an online format. Our solution is both expressed in the look and feel of Wilderness News Online, and in its editorial direction – E&A provides both ongoing graphic support for the newsletter, and writing expertise. We are excited to help the foundation grow its audience, and are happy to say that things are looking good, after two full months of “blogging”, Wilderness News Online traffic and Facebook fanbase is growing!

E&A sponsored MinneWebCon 2009 at the University of Minnesota yesterday, and it was impressive. Over 200 web developers, designers, and related professionals gathered to discuss trends, usability and the future of our craft with esteemed presenters and workshop facilitators. Attendees included many departments of the U, as well as Allina Hospitals, General Mills, Ecolab, MN/DOT, Wells Fargo and many more. The keynote speakers Doc Searls and Bruce Schneier presented critical views of web site culture and development trends today – particularly regarding privacy and personal information, and their insights left me thinking both about “power to the people” and “big brother”.
“MinneWebCon is a full-day, three-track, continuing education conference for web professionals happening Monday April 6, 2009…The conference delivers a practical blend of technical and creative information from industry practitioners and educators directly to University of Minnesota staff, students, and web professionals from ad and design agencies, corporations, non-profit organizations, and other higher education institutions.” For more info: http://minnewebcon.umn.edu/ We can hardly wait!
