Yesterday was eventful for The Journal-Standard's newsroom. David Arkin, a content specialist for our parent company Gatehouse Media, made the trip to Freeport to brief reporters on a redesign effort that has been underway, with the input of the J-S editors and publisher, for months.
Reporters got their first glimpse of new features that will be launched in the newspaper beginning next month. These features include new Q&As, How-Tos, and spotlights that will make the paper more useful and more readable. By the end of August, we plan to launch a completely redesigned Journal-Standard.
We'll be asking for your input during the process. In particular, we'll be looking for readers who would like to help us test prototype designs. If that's of interest to you, please send me an email.
Readability Fix Coming
Those of you have called to complain that the print has gotten smaller since we began publishing in Rockford: thank you for your patience. If you've read my prior post, you know the problem is that our pages are getting scaled to fit on the smaller pages used by Rockford's digital press. We think we've found a solution and it will be implemented soon. So, I hope by this time next week, the readability issues will be over. But as always, please contact me with any problems or concerns.
Thanks for reading!
