A new look to The Daily Sentinel
A group of editors has been working hard for the past few weeks, thinking about how to best package The Daily Sentinel to make it more useful to readers.
The fruits of their labors will be unveiled next month, when your Daily Sentinel will, while still containing all the news and features you’re used to, plus some, have a different look and feel.
Already you’ve probably noticed that our front page doesn’t look like it used to. It’s much more graphically intense, and every day we pick one story and, as we say in this business, “go deep” with it.
But beginning Sept. 1, the changes will become even more profound. I won’t give away all the details here. Our marketing department is hard at work on promotional ads to do that, and I’ll be writing more about the changes in the coming weeks both here and in the newspaper. But I will say that, among other things, the news will flow much more logically than it does now.
In the meantime, I’d like to thank Managing Editor Laurena Davis, News Editor Brian Harvey, City Editor Tim Harty and Copy Editor Erik Lincoln for all the hard work they’ve put into this project.
We all think it will be a much improved newspaper, and, as always, we’ll be anxious to hear what you think.
