Times Daily new design

Have not seen it. I get most of my news from here. I will have to pick a paper up though.

I just read the newspaper online, but will have to check it out. Thanks for the information.

Hard copy or electronic edition, let's hope the TD's new editorial computer software system has an updated and functional spelling and grammar checking component. Over the past few years, the many "EDIT-ors" have made me wonder exactly what their title means because editing was obviously a function of their job description that was not put into practice. I must have unknowingly appreciated my English classes more than I thought. The new look is nice, though barely apparent on the e-edition. Let's give them time to work out the bugs (ref. the vague Residents' Petition article this morning) then see how it's going.

I love the new "look", but the biggest problem with the Times Daily Dissapointment, is the lack of real local news coverage. They have gone overboard printing "human interest" articles, and news articles from other states, but very little actual local (Shoals area) news. The other big problem is the sports section. It has to be the worst sports section in the South East with the exception of the Decatur Daily

Maybe there is nothing going in this area and they are forced to fill the void with "human interest" stories.

Yes, I actually buy the TD. I have always been quick to criticize their grammar and lack of accuracy, but they do have good points. I think the Human Interest stories are only on Mondays and I like them. One of us on the forum had an article about her, and I jumped up and down when I saw it. Very good taste, TD.

Many thanks for adding Suduko last January, but on the flipside, I read the comics in one or two other newspapers also and find that on Sundays you always cut out the opening joke (if there is one). Do you lack space?

Nothing is perfect, but please, please, can the TD reporters at least learn where they are when they write a story. (We could perhaps excuse Bernie, since he is prone to getting lost.)

I actually find the "Courier Junk Mail" to be more informative and almost as entertaining as the Times Daily Dissapointment, and best of all, it's free!

Yes, I've heard it called the Daily Dissapointment, but my ex called it the Tricycle Daily.

The new design is poorly constructed (IMHO). They have used somewhere (it varies) between 7-9 different font styles. There is no consistency in typography even from one article to the next. It really looks to me like a 1st year design class mashed this up over late night beers; with each student assigned a different area of each page.

If design could reflect content....OH SNAP....it DOES in this case...

Good to see you back, rednevednav!
