Newspaper editors constantly fiddle with newspaper design. We're always seeking the Holy Grail: that combination of photography, layout, headlines and stories that will invite readers in and then guide them through a newspaper like a Sherpa in the Himalayas.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has given it a shot. As with anything new, the paper has gotten kudos and complaints.
We've made our share of design changes over the years, always in an attempt to make the newspaper more accessible and engaging. If you've been around the Triad for a while, you know we've gone from moderate to splashy to moderate again, all with varying degrees of success. We're playing around with some design changes now, too, more along the lines of evolutionary improvement. We're looking to introduce them later in the fall.
