The Daily Telegraph today relaunched in full colour. The new design features colour-coded pages, expanded comment and features, and redesigned sports and business section.

A colour-coded bar now appears at the top of each page: blue-green for news; maroon for comment and features; and dark blue for business.

The paper has also revamped its 20-page sports section and the 12-page business section, with data spread across the top of all business news pages. It has increased the coverage in its back-page weather section with over 250 separate reports from the UK and overseas.

The Daily Telegraph debuted a new crossword, called the Toughie. The Toughie will run Tuesday to Friday.

This makeover is a bit of good news for the newspaper, which has been struggling under a raft of negative headlines following its announcement that it was shedding casual staff,and athe resulting National Union of Journalists strike ballot. As part of its plan to shed casual staffers, the paper plans to appoint around 18 "content editors", hire 40 new workers and change the working conditions of some employees (editorial employees fare being moved from a nine-day to a 10-day working fortnight).
