Posted by Lauren Drablier on October 13, 2008 at 7:53 AM
The City Star of San Francisco recently launched a new design according to Newspaper Innovation. The Star was launched in 2006 as a competitor of the Daily Post.
According to free-daily.com the new design looks a lot like that of the Daily Post. The new nameplate is now four-inches wide, the same as the Daily Post. The Star also has short teasers along the left hand column, same as the Daily Post. In addition The Star has introduced a column of national news briefs, just like its competitor.
However, according to free-daily.com, The Star has not been able to attract as many readers nor pick up as much advertising as the Daily Post.
