Great ideas are the lifeblood of great sections and this is your chance to see what other newspapers are doing and learn how it can help you and your section.

Three new ideas to bring back home or your money back. (Sorry, Jack wouldn’t let me get away with that one, but it will be worth your time.)
If you have packages that your section has done, please send PDFs to me at barnetj@phillynews.com. If you have seen things you liked that others have done, please send me an email and I will hunt them down.
Great Ideas is among the general sessions and workshops offered in Salt Lake City. Workshops include a examination of Watchdog Reporting.
