He is a member of the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario, holds degrees in political science and law and is a hard-working family man. But for me (and most former Toronto Star employees), he personifies the newspaper's long-standing editorial values of fairness through balanced journalism – and giving a voice to those in our society who simply have none. John Honderich was publisher of the Toronto Star from 1994 to 2004.

September has come and gone. We hope that you had an opportunity to attend Graph Expo in Chicago, or have at least found it helpful to follow along in some other remote way. While some of our authors and staff were enjoying the show, I traveled east -- way east -- to Budapest, Hungary. I had an opportunity to present at the International Association of Research Organizations for the Information, Media and Graphic Arts Industries' (IARIGAI) 38th annual research conference. This is an international event that gathers scientists to discuss advancements in print and media.
As the hot humid weather starts to slowly turn crisp to signify fall, for students the cool air marks the start of a new school year — goodbye barbeques, goodbye late nights spent around a bonfire, and hello books. Students are beginning the long, hard trek back to the hallowed halls of college or university. The time has come for students to dig deep into their pockets, or if they're lucky their parents' pockets, and spend all that hard-earned summer money. It's time to pay for tuition, rent, and of course, textbooks.
September in the printing industry marks the beginning of all sorts of exciting industry events. We have GRAPH EXPO in September, Graphics Canada in November, and of course drupa 2012. In addition to these trade shows that have become staples in our industry, there are new events each year. This October, we would like you to pencil a GAM event into your calendar. By popular request, we will be hosting an day of good food and good company to help you figure out how to thrive in this difficult market. I am an advocate of live events — as they provide the instantaneous human feedback that is required for good networking. Of course I have nothing against a good webinar, but there is simply more pleasure in dressing up, getting out and shaking hands. You will find more information about the event on our website.
