Donald R. Winslow is currently the Director of Photography at CNET: The Computer Network in San Francisco following a lengthy career as a photojournalist, writer, picture editor, graphics editor, cyberjournalist, digital technologist, staff and project manager, photo magazine editor, and news designer.

In his 23 years as a photojournalist and editor, he has covered numerous Presidential and Congressional campaigns, been assigned to The White House and Capitol Hill during the Reagan, Bush and Clinton administrations, covered the Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, major league and college championship sporting events, the 30th anniversary of the revolution in Havana, Cuba, and other major news stories around the world. His experience as an early adopter of digital technologies and Internet capabilities led to experimenting with adapting traditional photographic methods and news coverage into the digital realm.

During his career, Don has worked for the international news organization REUTERS and REUTERS NewMedia, based in Washington, D.C. and New York City, along with The Palm Beach Post, The Pittsburgh Press, The Milwaukee Journal Co., The Republic, The Wabash Plain Dealer, and The Indiana Daily Student. Early in his career, he was also a contributing photographer for The Associated Press and United Press International. While at REUTERS, he worked on developing applications for digital technology and remote transmitting for traditional news assignments, such as the White House, inaugurations, and sporting events.

After moving to California, Don took a leadership position with Rick Smolan's historic "24 Hours In Cyberspace" project in San Francisco in 1996, which broke new ground for instant global Internet photojournalism publishing. Winslow speaks at various national photojournalism and photography seminars, and he remains active in photojournalism educational efforts as well as the National Press Photographers' Association and the White House News Photographers' Association. He is married to a computer language programmer, and they have three daughters, ages 15, 13, and 2.
