The new Saturday Times is here and no bloggers paid any attention to the new formula.
Well, it’s Saturday and weekends are the less newsy days of the week.
So, what a great opportunity to cover what nobody else does.
The new Saturday Times looks fine, but nothing in it is amazing.
The new broadsheet section (Saturday Review) doesn’t makes any sense inside of a still very badly designed tabloid.
The Magazine is another “pottage,” a little of this, a little of that, and … nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing impressive.
Having spent a few days in the UK and reading all the UK national newspapers again, The Guardian is by far the best product during the weekdays, plus its excellent The Observer on Sundays.
The Telegraph is suffering from the broadsheet format.
And The Times still has to improve its current low-class tabloid design.
The Independent is almost dead after redesigns and redesigns.
My St. Davids newsagent asked me the other day: “What newspapers do you want Mr. Giner?”
My answer was: From Monday to Saturday just send me The Guardian, add the Saturday and Sunday Times during the weekend, plus The Observer on Sunday.
