Don't let technology camouflage a lack of content

Article Abstract:

Design consultant Edwin Taylor holds new technology, cost cuttings, and light features responsible for the lack of specific characteristics in newspapers. He feels that present day newspapers are predictable, without any element of surprise. The extra sections and supplements contain less reporting, and news positioning has become defensive. Editors compromise news-positioning with advertising throughout the world. Taylor believes that redesigning comprises corrective, progressive, and creative elements, and it is being wrongly used to hide the lack of content in newspapers.

Brighter alternatives

Article Abstract:

North America's daily newspapers are losing their readership to attractive tabloids. These tabloids are aimed at educated readers between the ages of 18 to 35. They further the cause of discussion among the public by their juxtaposition of style and substance. The emphasis is on the use of humor and catchy designs that are colorful and lively. The inside-pages are noteworthy for their skillful typography, good art and magazine-like design. An aggressive journalistic style is a key aspect for their popularity. A harmonious blending of photos and words also helps their image.
