It’s not a secret that Tribune company CEO Sam Zell has ordered all his papers to redesign. It’s also not a secret that the South Florida Sun-Sentinel of Ft. Lauderdale will debut its new look in just a couple of weeks — on Sunday, Aug. 17.
What is a secret — until now, at least [...]
We reported that the Morning Call of Allentown, Pa., redesigned Monday. Today, we finally have one image to show you:
That’s Sunday’s front on the left; Tuesday’s page on the right.
At first glance, the changes appear to be minimal. The new one is a bit more colorful, with lots of type reversed out of solid [...]
Today — Monday, July 28 — is reportedly the debut of the next Tribune-company redesign, The Morning Call of Allentown, Pa.
Unfortunately, Allentown was a no-show in the Newseum today. We also didn’t see a lot about the redesign posted at the Morning Call web site. Assistant managing editor for visuals Craig Larimer did tell [...]
Sure, there’s a buzz of activity all along the East Coast as Tribune-owned newspapers work furiously to meet their deadlines to redesign. But there are non-Trib papers working up new duds as well.
Case in point: The Sacramento Bee’s new redesign kicks off Tuesday July 29, according to Bee editor Melanie Sill:
The most obvious changes [...]
Ann Saphir of Crain’s Chicago Business reports:
Crain’s has learned that Tribune Co. will try out some dramatic changes in the 161-year-old broadsheet in a Saturday edition by early August. A version under consideration devotes the paper’s front section to consumer-oriented and entertainment features. Local, national, international and business news is consolidated in the second [...]
John Koblin of The New York Observer received a prototype of a proposed new-and-improved Rolling Stone.
His take:
The test issue is the same size as your Vanity Fair, your Gourmet, your Lucky. It’s glossy and perfect-bound (goodbye, staples!), and the spine has all sorts of type on it making it perfect for your bookshelf: the [...]
Lost, perhaps, in all the discussions about the Tribune company redesigns this summer is a wonderful, wonderful redesign two weeks ago by the Wyoming Tribune Eagle in Cheyenne.
Last Thursday’s A1.

We wrote about it a couple of weeks ago, but it’s time to check in and see how the folks in Cheyenne are doing.

Ray Stern of the Phoenix New Times writes today:
The East Valley Tribune rolled out its new and improved look, plowing deep in tabloid territory and essentially ending–by design, anyway–a traditional-style newspaper that has published in Mesa for more than 100 years.
It’s not all tabloid; the sports, Nation/World and classified sections that come tucked inside the [...]

UPDATE
Now with inside pages, photos from launch night.

One of the more closely-watched redesigns in recent memory launched this morning in the Orlando Sentinel.
Here’s today’s A1, direct from the Newseum:
Looks like they led A1 with a story about the future of NASA. Orlando is a leader in space coverage, so that’s a good story with [...]
Newspaper design consultant Alan Jacobson writes on his web site:
The redesign of the Orlando Sentinel will fail to deliver the results Mr. Zell’s troubled Tribune Company needs – readership and revenue – because those are not the goals of the redesign.
Sure, the Sentinel’s editors and designers will serve up the short stories, snappy graphics [...]
