Newspaper redesign
Andy Bechtel at The Editor's Desk compiles a list of the top 10 complaints about a newspaper's redesign.
As a veteran of several newspaper redesigns, I have heard them all. But he missed a couple:
* What have you done to my newspaper? It was fine the way it was.
* The Jumble? The heck with that; I can't find anything!
* Why did you get rid of (insert a feature or comic dropped from the paper years ago)?
Actually, reader complaints about redesigns aren't bad. They care enough to call and write.
