The Morning News Annual 2008

Introducing our yearly print edition. Hardbound for lasting editorial excitement.

Designed by Jennifer Daniel with illustrations by Witold Riedel, our inaugural 2008 edition features some of our favorite pieces from the year alongside new pieces from TMN writers, including Matthew Baldwin’s invective of spoilers, movie and otherwise; Anthony Doerr’s essay on attempting to savor the offline life; Lauren Frey’s remembrance of a voice gained, then lost; Sarah Hepola’s dissection of the song she keeps on repeat; Elizabeth Kiem’s journey to hurricane-striken Haiti; Todd Levin’s revelation of his family’s too-frequent Disney excursions; Pasha Malla’s op on how the N.C.A.A. beats out the N.B.A.—except when it doesn’t; Nicole Pasulka’s profile of the musician who’s soundtracking the funerals of the future; Clay Risen’s answer to the vacation question; and John Warner’s take on Camille Paglia’s take on video games.

Better Than Two in the Bush

We invited our readers to invent an idiom or proverb, and promised to emblazon it across a piece of merchandise that might ensure the phrase’s everlasting fame. The winning entry, “If a bird can’t fly, it walks,” was sent to us (and later illustrated) by the exceptionally talented Kevin Cornell, and is available now on a sticker suitable for display on the tail of your crapped-out Corolla, on the wall of your cube at your hopeless job, or above your workbench at home, where the real work is done.
