US: A new look for the Los Angeles Times
Posted by Rory Satran on October 23, 2006 at 12:31 PM
The Los Angeles Times has announced a redesign for its main news and Sunday entertainment sections. The new look is intended to make the paper more "useful and accessible" for readers. The changes will include larger headlines, more color and photographs, and the use of infographics like sidebars and back-story boxes. The redesign comes on the heels of the news that the L.A.Times would launch the so-called "Manhattan Project," an internal investigation with the goal of re-engaging readers.

The new design does not do much for me. When I read columns in the LA Times it tends to be S, Lopez, Skeleton or Rutten. I also spend more time reading the Op/Ed page of our local paper up here in A.V. Interesting collection from M. Dowd to G. Will to Walters from Sacto. Bee. The current crop on the op/ed page is not to impressive. To young, too W. LA, which reflects the general readership and somewhat elitist and culturally isolated nature of paper. Also not a very divese group for PC paper such as Times.
