The Guardian's Redesign

[marty21]

Maybe it's a North London thing?

Hhehhe!

It's called Clare In The Community and has been turned into a successful radio programme. Some of us like it, some of like it a lot- taking the piss out of social workers forms the better part of my day

No, I don't mean Clare In The Community (which, the few times I've read it, is quite funny!) - I mean the article that used to be on the back page of Society Guardian, I think it might actually be called What Shall I Do Next? (Not just social workers but other public sector workers as well, should have made that more clear).

The cartoon people next to the article all look like people you want to slap.

Quite Funny

there was a shit pravdaesque reader's editor column on monday (taking a leaf out of the NYT?) saying it was almost all good (minus a few token legimimate complaints)

the redesign seems to conceal the abandonment of the european social democratic 'intelligentsia' paper like le monde, for something aiming for the NYT type newspaper of record, absurdly trying to purge any editorializing in the news, and a consistent vague liberal stance in the comment section

it doesn't bother me immensely, but i slightly miss the dour high minded stateist guardian that probably died years ago

does anyone know what rusbridger's political affiliations were before he was editor?

the sunday one, yep that's a broadsheet, but the saturday one i bought yesterday was a tabloid, maybe it's a regional thing...

the indy is tabloid monday to saturday. the independent on sunday is part of the same company but operates separately to the daily indy, which is why it has not gone tabloid yet

I like the new design but miss the Women section slagging me off for my gender.

Funny, but one of those times when the Eye gets it very, very wrong:

'At Guardian Unread...'

Guardian Unlimited is the most successful news website in the UK, and IIRC 2mnd or 3rd in the world. It has a UK user base of 2.9 million people generating 56 million monthly page impressions (i.e. it gets about 7 times as many readers online as buy the paper) and an overseas audience or over 10million unique users, generating approximately 76 million page impressions a month.

As for the redesign, as I posted on another thread, initial evidence seems to point to a 40K uplift in readers which puts the paper back up to where it was a couple of years ago circulation wise...
