"As design editor for the Central Penn Business Journal, Chris brought both attention to detail and a big-picture vision that brought our publication to a higher level every week. He consistently delivered attention-grabbing designs that added something special. He also was a pleasure to work with, easy-going, flexible and open to new ideas and directions."
"I worked with Chris at Central Penn Business Journal and the York Daily Record. Chris has an eye for design, detail and independent work. He collaborates well within a company and is helpful in providing suggestions and solutions for design challenges.
He's approachable, dependable and a self-starter."
"While news editor at the Standard-Speaker, a newspaper in Northeast Pennsylvania, Chris worked design magic on A1 under daily deadline pressure. His covers were crisp and helped draw readers into important stories. His attention to detail often led to break-out information that helped explain the work of reporters. Chris led the reporting staff with a level-headed, professional approach. His leadership skills almost instantly earned him the staff's respect. People with Chris' talent are a good fit in a challenging situation. If you've got one, I'd recommend Chris in a heartbeat."
"As news editor at the Standard-Speaker, Chris Beck exercised excellent news judgment, proved himself as a top-notch page designer and was a strong manager who was liked and respected by his staff."
