France: 20 Minutes undergoes revamp, Online Editor fired
Posted by Katherine Thompson on September 4, 2008 at 12:56 PM
20 Minutes, the French free daily, will undergo a makeover this November.
The newspaper will create more space for photos and change the font. It will not reduce the editorial content. Management wants to make the newspaper more visual, spacious, and clearer. These changes at the newspaper have been in the pipeline for sometime.
The Editor-in-Chief, Johan Hufnagel, of 20Minutes.fr was fired recently due to a difference of opinion with the Editor-In-Chief of the print edition, Corinne Sorin. 20 Minutes President France, Pierre-Jean Bozo, believes there cannot be two Editors-in-Chief at the publication. This action provoked a five-day strike at the website editing department in August. Negotiations are ongoing at the newspaper.
