But with our production agreement with another paper, I get to do page design the old fashioned way -- with paper and pencil, then I scan & e-mail (or fax) my designs to someone else who will paginate it based on my design. Plus with the pagination system, the paginator can't access wire photos directly he needs them sent into the system. So I pick the photos, use a pica rule to measure & size the photos and then send them up to be taken care of by the photo desk at the other paper. Gotta love modern technology.

I make more than that as a copy editor/page designer. I do page design 1-3 times a week and am on the sports copy desk 5 nights a week.
