[AEJMC Newspaper Division list] New name for Newspaper Division?

[Edward C. Pease]

I think we should all call ourselves Factoids Instruction Delivery  
Gnomes, but FIDG doesn't make a good acronym.

I'm noodling new names for the Newspaper Division that would provide  
a good acronym--for essential branding purposes. The best I have so  
far are NOD (Newspaper & Online Division) and SNOT (Society for News  
and Other Things). Oh, and NADD! (Newspapers Aren't Dead, Dammit!).  
Further research is needed.

Too many of us are at our computers during summer and bored enough to  
join this conversation. Myself, I'm avoiding editing page proofs.
