In January, Thailand's English-language daily, The Nation, redesigned to focus on finance and politics and updated with a "lively design, uses color in headlines, capital letters, and has a special weekend front page with a colorful navigator to the inside." Additionally, the Daily Xpress, a paper covering general news, sports and entertainment began to be inserted as a free broadsheet inside The Nation; the Daily Xpress is Thailand's first free paper.

Eight months later, Garcia Media reports on the success of the redesign and partnership.

"What Thailand has been dearly in need of is a dedicated local English daily business newspaper. Recognizing this, The Nation has stepped in to fill this gap, changing from a general-news paper to one that lays emphasis on business news," said Leroy Sylk, design director.
