Signe Wilkinson Will Stay At The Philadelphia Daily News

Michael Cavna had this up late yesterday afternoon: the situation by which the Philadelphia newspaper establishment might lose both Tony Auth and Signe Wilkinson within several days of one another had been side-stepped. The prominent editorial cartoonist -- a key figure in comics history for being a woman in that position, but mostly just a skilled practitioner of her craft -- will stay on with her newspaper despite that publication shedding jobs in this latest chapter of the Great Newspaper Shake-Out Of The 21st Century. I think that's great news and I hope that the Daily News and all newspaper will renew their efforts to try and find ways to make their cartoonists a bigger part of what they offer and how they offer it. I know that's a loaded criticism to make because you can't just change what people do to suit a long-term marketing and positioning need, but I have to think there are more options out there for the talent on hand.
