WHAT'S NEXT: INNOVATIONS IN NEWSPAPERS

I am against any nuclear weapons.

From Iran, France, India, North Korea, Israel, Russia, UK or USA.

But this report from the Jerusalem Post quotes Sarkozy adding the “weapons” word to his own words…

So, this is an extreme and stupid manipulation.

Read it:

After Paris warned that new sanctions against Teheran remained an option despite the likelihood of negotiations with Iran, French President Nicolas Sarkozy maintained that the Islamic republic was still working on a nuclear weapons program.

“It is a certainty to all of our secret services. Iran is working today on a nuclear [weapons] program,” Sarkozy told lawmakers from his UMP party on Tuesday, according to Press TV.

“We cannot let Iran acquire nuclear” weapons because it would also be a threat to Israel, he added.

What a blast!

All this week, first The Observer last Sunday and then The Guardian, are printing each day an original issue of Jackie, The Beano, Roy of the Rovers, Bunty, The Dandy, Tammy and Whizzer And Chips.

These are old comic magazines that now are free with the daily paper.

A smart promotion to get young ad old readers.

In a brilliant leader (The Lehman Collapse: One Year On The market economy has survived a panic born of bankers’ hubris) The Times of London says:

The principal fault in the crisis lies with the bankers.

They failed to understand the risks that they took on and thereby almost toppled the Western financial system.

It is a measure of the resilience of capitalism that, by luck as well as judgment, the market economy has survived their handiwork.

Spot-on!

The 2001 Economics Nobel Prize, Joseph Stiglitz is and old friend of Libé, so today his opinions are printed not just in the front page, and in pages 2 to 5, but along the entire paper.

Six times, in Monde, Politique, Terre, Sports, Culture and Ecrans, he makes the point on several issues.

A new way to present news and opinions.

What INNOVATION calls “flying opinions” where the comments are made not in the editorial pages but next to news.

Today’s front page of “i”, the new quality national newspaper of Portugal, is  really wild.

Wild, wild, wild.

I like it!

This is the T-Shirt done by the British designer Paul Smith to celebrate the launch of the new LIBERATION.

The INNOVATION team leaves Paris tomorrow after the fantastic launch of the new LIBERATION.

These are pictures of Javier Errea and Antonio Martin working with the designers of the paper.

Tomorrow you will see the new Weekend Edition, with a superb Magazine.

Stay tuned.

He was, AP said, the VANITY FAIR chronicler of the rich and powerful, but Dominick Dunne, the great father of gossip, that died in New York on August 26, left us a big lesson: cover soft news as hard news.

He was 83.

Today, LIBERATION goes green.

With more great illustrations.

And very creative pages like this one.

Sales are Up, Up and Up.

And in a few hours, a party will be held in the newsroom to celebrate the success of the new LIBERATION.
