Media Industry Rallies to Help Magazine Designer Bob Newman

Friends turn to crowdfunding as Newman recovers from injury

Charitable crowdfunding gets plenty of attention whenever there’s a newsworthy disaster (take the recent Boston Marathon bombings, for instance), but plenty of homegrown efforts are constantly providing help to individuals in need across the country—like Bob Newman, a media industry vet whose friends and colleagues are now rallying to raise money for his recovery following a severe head injury.

Newman, a graphic designer, has a long history in the magazine world. He’s been the design director of New York, Details and Fortune (among others), creative director at Real Simple and Reader's Digest, and currently runs an independent design firm that has worked with titles like Southern Living, O, TV Guide, AARP magazine, and Adweek, where he consulted on our very own iPad launch last fall.
