The paper of tomorrow, the Oklahoman

[Drip]

The Oklahoman in Oklahoma City, OK has launched a redesign also included a reduction in size to a 44-inch Web width. So many papers are going into this redesign phase in an effort to attract readers. The copycat mentality of the industry is probably wearing people out.
I think content, more than anything else will get people to read newspapers again.
Anyway, here's a quick link to piece and check out the last quote.

It looks like a filing cabinet. Awful. Full of Fail.

My survey shows that Oklahomans want to consume news that is spelled out in sausage bits on an extra large cheese pizza.

First they get the NBA team they so richly deserve, now they create the newspaper of the future. When will Oklahoma City's greatness end?

the use of prairie, sundown, brick and tall grass colors on section fronts is what hooked me....

Seriously, give me something interesting, thought-provoking, entertaining, challenging to read and I'll buy it. Show me a crappy product, no matter how creatively packaged, and I won't buy it... pretty simple...

Dammit! You mean I could have just bought a paper instead of lugging this thing around?

Were people really not buying the newspaper because it was too big?

I've heard a lot of complaints, but I have never heard "I quit reading the paper because it was too damn big. I needed something smaller."

Making The Oklahoman look good is kind of like putting a pile of dog**** on a designer dinner plate.
