APPLE LEADS AGAIN THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION
Published by January 6th, 2009 in FRONT PAGES and General. 0 CommentsAlfredo Trivino has redesigned The Sunday Times and he has done a super job.
The leading British Sunday paper is now full color, more easy to read and better organized.
As Harold Evans writes;:
“This week’s Sunday Times looks more attractive than last week’s with the sparkle of the best of the web pages, but that is not [...]
Our first screen in the INNOVATION presentation at the WAN Congress.
We need more than cosmetics.
More than decorators.
Much more than face-lifts.
The newspaper industry needs WILD IDEAS.
Serious INNOVATIONS.
Real CHANGES.
Dramatic (RE)EVOLUTIONS.
Tons of CREATIVITY.
And JOURNALISM at its best.
So, we’ll repeat it again and again, “don’t put lipstick on a pig when our newspapers need heart surgery.”
Well, the stock market in Estonia is not doing very well.
But covers like this need a lot of good “why journalism.”
Your readers want to know more. They are always asking papers to:
Give me solutions!
Give me hope!
Help me!

The last time that I visited them, they were in the same building.
Yesterday they had the same front page picture.
As you know, the editors of The New York Times and The Washington Post exchange their front pages every night …

THE shrinking OF COVER STORIES ON NEW FRONT PAGES
Published by September 30th, 2007 in Brazil and FRONT PAGES. 0 CommentsIt is one thing to use the front page to promote the stories of the day.
It is another thing to limit the space for our cover stories.
In Brazil this shrinking trend is very clear today.
SPORTS AND DOGS SELL

Sports sell.
And dogs too.
Yes, he could be a crazy politician and a terrorist.
But front pages like this one are stupid.
This is exactly what he wanted.
To show that the U.S. is an intolerant country.
And we are not.
The Daily News is.

FRONT PAGES FROM THE TURKISH ELECTIONS
Published by July 23rd, 2007 in Erdogan, FRONT PAGES, Infograpgics, Turkey and elections. 0 CommentsVery busy front pages as always in Turkey.
But a dramatic one with a clear infographic.
A good example of how infographics work on the front page.
My only concern is that you cannot ignore the pictures of the winner.
Nobody expected such strong results for Erdogan.

A WORLD NEWSPAPER RECORD FOR BAD TASTE IN COLOMBIA
Published by June 29th, 2007 in Advertising, Colombia, FARC, FRONT PAGES, Guerrilla, Vanguardia Liberal and bad taste. 0 CommentsWell, this must be a world record.
The newspaper front page with less news than advertising.
Yes, this is a tradition of Colombian newspapers, but on a day with such terrible news (the killing by FARC guerrillas of 11 kidnapped members of parliament), this doesn’t make any sense.
At all!
Bad design.
Bad taste.
Bad journalism.
Bad editorial decision.
Bad advertising.
You need to [...]

Shocking if you have never been to Rio.
Normal for the locals and regular visitors.
What’s more striking to me is the almost general indifference from the rest of the papers in the country.
Good papers like Zero Hora just ignored the story on their front pages.
And Jornal [...]

Some of the Q&A:
In an answer of one word, and with the benefit of hindsight, was it wrong to invade Iraq?
No.
