The Rocky Mountain News redesign

Newspapers are changing.

Content is changing, multimedia is changing, and even design is changing.

Some newspapers are now catering to their readers by changing print size. Instead of tall, long pages, newspapers are starting to print on shorter, wider, pages that are more convenient to read on the subway or at the office.

The Rocky Mountain News recently made a drastic redesign that puts into print the changes that newspapers are dealing with. The paper reduced their size, and chose new fonts to change their design to be "conceived more like a magazine."

This Rocky Mountain News Web site explains the basic changes that The Rocky Mountain News has made, and why they decided to redesign.
