India: The Hindu gets a makeover

Newspaper designer Mario Garcia is at it again, the latest redesign being India's The Hindu "The challenge when redesigning a classic, elegant, and traditional newspaper such as The Hindu is to make sure that one improves a good product, attracts younger readers, but does not take away all the wonderful attributes that have made this newspaper the icon it is within Indian journalism," said Garcia in an interview with the 126 year-old paper. Garcia and co. have made The Hindu a quicker read, improved its visual content, and made the paper more attractive for advertisers. As for Garcia's predictions about the future of newspaper in general? "Smaller... The future belongs to smaller newspapers, easier to carry, more compact."
