n Which size is the best for a piece of paper? For newspapers, judging from pure statistics, it’s clearly the tabloid format. Most Scandinavian papers have abandoned the old-fashioned, unprac tical broadsheet years ago. In Norway practically all papers are in tabloid, in Sweden only Hallpressen print in broadsheet – and rumour has it that the only reason for this is that their printing machines simply cannot handle the tabloid format.

But a few major papers stay with the large size.

“Broadsheet is by far the best format for a serious newspaper. It gives us more possibilities to work with visuals. Therefore, Politiken says thank you to all the other Danish newspapers who allow us to be the sole player on the big stage,” says design editor Søren Nyeland from Politiken, which at the time we went to press launched a new design – but did not shrink the paper from broadsheet to tabloid.

Helsingin Sanomat, the big Finnish newspaper, will update its design in January, and will still be in broadsheet:

“Thinking about readers’ interests we make some changes in the structure of the paper and we will introduce some new story formats and ways of presentation,” says managing editor Hannu Pulkkinen. “We are interested

in smaller formats and personally I believe that HS will go to tabloid some day. But when, that is impossible to say.”

Look South, to the Netherlands, and get a completely different picture. The Daily XS is a prototype for, maybe, the newspaper of the future: The size is almost A4, but the asymmetrically folded mini paper is actually printed on two sheets of broadsheet paper, us-ing the state-of-the-art presses. Koos Staal from Staal & Duikers has been experimenting with designing and producing mini-sized newspapers since 2005, and presented his latest version to the public in October. If the printed paper can survive, this could be how – in a size only marginally larger than an iPad. Maybe then young readers – like this magazine’s cover girl Eva – will stay with paper just a little longer.

Speaking of the iPad – since last issue we lost Steve Jobs, the father of all things Apple. May he rest in peace, but his products live on: We take a closer look at Svenska Dagbladet’s INSIKT app for the iPad (see page 14-15). We recommend Steves biography, pub-lished only shortly after his death in the beginning of October, along with other great books that will make the days of Christmas a little easier to endure. See which ones on page 26-27.

But there is more – Aftenposten’s new design seems like a nice and gentle change to the old venerable newspaper. The use of white space on the pages is a really nice feature, and personally I’m a great fan of the paper’s seldomly used new sans serif typeface Clan – which we introduced into the weekly Ingeniøren a few years ago.

Enjoy all the other things as well – including the first glimpse of what we are preparing for the next SNDS seminar: SPACE_2012, which will be in Copenhagen on 27-28 September 2012. It will be a special event – with a new and different approach to attending a seminar. Don’t miss it! See page 8-9.

And don’t forget to collect your finest work for the next SNDS design competition. There are some great new things coming here. One is a brand new award, or actually two: We will find “Scandinavia’s Best Designed” printed newspaper as well as “Scandinavia’s Best Designed News Site”. And the best part: it’s free to enter these categories – if you enter just one other category. More info will come to you all in the beginning of January.

Until then – have a Merry Christ-mas and a Happy New Year! n

n Times are changing and so is snds.org. We have restructured and redesigned our website to be able to give a better and more dynamic flow of information to our members and readers.

The last time we made major changes to our site was in 2006. It has served us well but the time had come to reconsider the purpose of the website as well as the look and feel of it. With terrific help from Lisbeth Scharling from webwoman.dk we have worked for some time now to figure out the nature if the new site.

We also wanted to change the publishing platform. The choice soon landed on WordPress – the fastest growing open source online publishing tool. With its wide range of plugins and functionality it is perfect solution for a site like snds.org.

Blog feelWordPress is by nature a blog system. Sites built in WordPress will therefore have the taste, look and feel of a blog. And so does the new snds.org.

We tag all content appropriately to hopefully give the reader a better overview of the subjects we cover by tag cloud and better search.

FacebookOne main goal of the new site is to integrate more with Facebook. We have done so by adding a Facebook com-ment plug-in to every story on the site.

A vital part of the society's commu-nication is based on our Facebook page – facebook.com/sndscandinavia. Our vision is to make this the turning point of discussion about news design be it good, bad, smart, intelligent, trivial, exciting – you name it. We urge you all to contribute to the network by posting there. We all share a common goal to create the best forum for communicat-

ing and sharing information about great news design all over Scandinavia – and the rest of the world! So please participate and share your opinions.

NewsletterWe have also given our newsletter a face lift. We keep on posting newslet-ters about our activity – the design competition, the seminar and other activities in SNDS. It is totally free to receive our newsletter. You don’t even have to be an SNDS member for that.

A website is never developed completely. It is an organic system that evolves. We believe that we now have a good platform for developing our web-site and online communication. So, the version of the website we launch now is not the final one. We will enhance it along the way. Please also feel free to write to us if you have suggestions for the website.

Wishing you all welcome on the new snds.org ! n

seminar and workshop

n We admit it. The media business and SNDS have their foundation in print. Newspapers, magazines, books. That is why SPACE_2012 will open in the garden of The Royal Danish Library, founded in 1661. But when we have passed through the Harry Potterish reading hall with its green porzelain lamps we physically and mentally enter the future. We move into the next phase on rolling pavements to the panorama view over the Copenhagen harbour through dark glass windows of the Black Diamond, built 10 years ago.

Lift offNow we’re ready for a trip into Space. How do we relate to readers who no longer sit quietly in a library or in their livingrooms at home, but instead explore the internet and the real world, too, and even contributes with their own photos, videos, text,

Get ready for Space 2012Copenhagen cordially invites you to leave your good old media for a few days to boldly go into a digital world of communication with us.

layouts and webdesigns? How do we make sure that our ‘old media’ will make the transistion and use the new possibilities to to creat interac-tivity and include the readers?

How can we – immigrants in this new land of possibilities – learn how to stay up to date and how to work together in new ways that match all the new jobs?

Oh, and: How do we make money out of all this futuristic new stuff?

The countdown to SPACE_2012 will take place in the Queens Hall of the Black Diamond, where 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 will be followed by some of the most innovative people of the media business; people who will share their case stories and experi-ences with us – who see business models that are profitable as well as ethically and morally correct.

We also introduce some ‘aliens’ – successful people working with food, music, architecture, consumer electronics etc. Because we believe in cross-pollination. Because we believe that enthusiasm and the power to

innovate are human qualities – not just words in a jobdescription.

FuturamaBut – hold on to your PowerPoint presentations: Did we ever actually learn anything, just from listening to someone speaking from a stage? Shouldn’t we also learn from experi-ence? That is why the most impor-tant ingredience of this seminar is FUTURAMA: Small, compact workshops. Our ’Space Ambassa-dors’ will outline a scenario for the participants to relate to. There will be brainstorming and conceptual-izing, there will be discussions and thoughts flying in the air of the weightless room we create. In this room, everything is possible.

The scenarios could be like this:A large newspaper wants to create an interactive universe based on a succesful printed guide section. How is it possible to engage users and use augmented reality, location based services, and a mash up of things already availabe? Or:

Per Munchper.munch@pol.dk

How does a morning paper prepare for large events like the Utøya trag-edy? How handle input from readers and the first reports from the scene better? And how make sure that the follow up coverage is superb? Or:Is it possible to create a club-media, where people can get information, participate, buy phisical goods, go to lectures etc.? What subjects will be relevant?

Face the FutureTrack 2 of the seminar is called FACE THE FUTURE. It’s about having the right tools for the job – to get inspiration from colleagues from all over the world. Here, we help you catch trends and thoughts in the minds of consumers, and give ideas to publish them to your specific platform. We look at dif-ferent business models and ways to organize workflows. The sessions are workshops or larger presentations as “wake-up calls”, for instance:Twitter. What is worth following? How do clever tweeters tweet?

If you do not have a twitter account yet, get it here.Facebook Pages. Basic knowledge about creating a page for your project – how to use it wisely and efficiently.iPhone lab. Video, photo, apps, reporting.organization. How can frozen com-panies create new stuff? Which new ways of working together should we learn? Is there a special Scandina-vian way to cooperate and integrate? Should editorial departments work closer together with the commercial departments – and how?

Food and drink – and partyingAlong the way, of course, we offer you a chance to enjoy Danish and Scandinavian specialties in both food and drinks. Denmark is the ori-gin of both the New Nordic Kitchen – with excellent food prepared with local rather than imported ingredi-ences – and of the world famous Carlsberg brewery. So look forward to a Salsa of Scandinavia and a glass

of tasty beer! Carlsberg’s motto is “Semper Ardens” – “Always Ardent” – a motto we in the media business should adapt for ourselves.

Dresscode for the future?Come as you are – but carrying as little mental baggage as possible, so that you are ready to think new thoughts and develop new ways to do things with the rest of us. So, the dresscode for the future is: New Habits.

n SND president Steve Dorsey intro-duced the workshop this way: ”This conference itself is a reflection of the changing time we live and work in …” and that was exactly what it was.

The programme was very well or-ganized in three different tracks. Track

one focused on ”career boost” meaning a lot of good examples showing how ones professionality can change in a positive way, even though you have to accept a change in position or a completely new way of looking at your own talent and professional possibilities.

Some headlines from this track tell their own story: ”Reinvent Yourself – Reinvent Your world”, ”No longer a tourist” (focusing on the challenges you

can meet working in a different part of the world) and as a very strong line in the track ”Building Your Digital Brand”. The main idea was to get accostumed to the use of social media in a professional way and to give up the modesty, that sometimes prevent you from getting well known for your special talent.

Design rootsA second track was named ”Design

Roots” which might as well have been called the ”Tell me about your experi-ence – and I will tell you what to aim at”-track. Again the presentations were numerous and inspiring. Graphic designers, photographers, journalists, students and professors – a bouquet of people from newspapers, huge as well as small and local, universities, print- as well as web-magazines and private workshops with world wide experi-ence introduced their work and their thoughts about the future for the whole media business. Great to listen to the questions and provocating to join the discussion that followed each session.

Being a member of the audience I enjoyed the professional way most of the presentations were staged and felt,

very strongly, the importance of an openminded and positive dialogue. And yes – believe it or not – this magazine’s editor Lars Pryds attracted 60 persons as his audience, when his introduction: ”In Cold Scandinavia – Magazines are hot” was running across one of the screens in the conference center of Re-naissance Grand Hotel in Saint Louis. So now, a few more people know about the design being made in our corner of the world.

New shootsThe third track was focused on ”New Shoots” (new platforms and new media). Tablets, iPads, the use of video in the news industry and a lot of other inspiring examples were shown, dis-

cussed and challenged by some of those people who have chosen to work in that specific part of the business.

Roger Fidler, from Missouri’s Don-ald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, opened this track by talking about how the typical iPad user expects a “relaxed, enjoyable reading experience”. He stressed the fact that the iPad is not print – but the way we read on the tablet is in many ways “printlike”.

Fidler, who back in 1988 very accu-rately predicted the arrival of what became the iPad (see kortlink.dk/a6u3 )

was presented a Lifetime Achievement Award at the closing dinner banquet on Saturday, the last day of the seminar. Another Lifetime Award was presented to Gayle Grin, former SND President.

MANYSCANDINAVIANNEWSPAPERS

USE NEWSPILOTTO EASILY PUBLISH TO PRINT, WEB,

IPHONE & IPAD. DO YOU?

n Back in 2010 when I bought my first iPad I had a dream, that this tablet would become the future place for magazines. But it would take some time before I was completely convinced.

It only happened recently, when I laid my hands on Svenska Dagbladet’s iPad magazine, SvD Insikt; a monthly magazine created for, designe d for and targeted exclusively for the iPad.

There are, of course, a lot of maga-zines you can download for the iPad. Personally, I’m a great fan of the Wired iPad mag, because I love the printed version of Wired. But none of the magazines – including Wired’s – were originally meant to be an iPad product. They all have a kind of secondary look and feel to them.

Which is really too bad. Because the tablet is precisely the kind of digital platform where you can make a package of content goodies – with even more features than in the printed magazines.

SvD Insikt is a clearly marked by the fact that the people behind the product spent 18 months thinking about how this platform is used best – and for what. The simple answer is to

honour the platform for all it is capable of.

The iPad is not only a screen; it is also a small television set, a book, a newspaper, an image projector, a radio, a browser, a pointing device – it is so much more than just digital ink. So when a magazine chooses the simple solution – exporting PDFs of the print version to the iPad – it is all too ob-vious that it is just a copy of the print side of the press.

Only a few print magazines are good enough or have the right equipment to produce high quality tv. Sound quality is often rather poor. And the graphics are often static reproductions.

Hhigh qualitySvD Insikt takes a different approach and should be praised for that.

One example is the story of the debt crisis in the first edition of the publica-tion. The history of money is told in four small videos – starting when the value of money was tied up with gold, up to today, where money is anchored digitally. The videos are high quality, each not more than one or two minutes long and all told in graphic animations – just like you would do on tv.

Another example is the use of photographs. There is a lot of images,

but not a single one too many. They all tell their own stories – and the bright colours of the iPad’s LED screen give the photographs full power.

These days, when everybody is asking for overview, SvD Insikt pre-sents another beuatiful feature: The most important news stories placed on an interactive world map. Labelled “the World in September” the map invites you to tap the small dots with a headline, and the story will unfold as a compact text in the bottom of the screen. Very very nice! But also a great service to people who do not always catch up on all major events through a busy month.

Getting the facts rightThe fact boxes are also used well. In the story of Zlatan Ibrahimović, a single screen shows his complete biography – to be read by scrolling the box horison-tally.

But nothing is perfect, and even Svd Insikt has a few flaws.

For instance, one thing that never worked for me was the sharing func-tion, which lets you share content to social networks on the web – an essential feature in a world where social media are an extremely important place for advertising. Links pointing to

extra content outside the app (the SvD website, for example) would also be a nice feature.

Nevertheless – it is difficult not to be very excited. SvD Insikt nourishes the hope for journalism in a time of declining subscription numbers for the printed media. Until now, there was no real alternative – but it is here now. Not everything in the electronic universe needs to be short news flashes in browser windows.

However, the tough reality is that it is not a cheap, simple and easy task to deliver great content to the iPad. All content must keep a high quality, be-

cause the competition for the custom-ers’ attention on the tablets is tough.

Fortunately for SvD Insikt my expe-rience was so convincing that I will not hesitate to return to this product. And I’m not even from Sweden. n

Anders Rostgaard is a journalist at Ber-lingske Business Magasin, Copenhagen. He writes about new technology, globali-zation and business-trends in general. In his spare time he loves take great photos, and has a deep respect for people with the ability to tell great stories with photos, graphic and intelligent presentation.

Launched in September 2011. SvD’s design editor Anna Thurfjell created the design of the app, with London-based designer Mark Porter as consultant for the cover design. Weekend editor Ann Axelsson was project leader. SvD’s head of photography Joakim Ståhl, photo editor Staffan Löwstedt and graphic designer Thomas Mohlén developed the visual line: the style of photography and info graphics. Sub-editors David Stillberg, Anders Lindgren and Elisabeth Mård did the layout of pages. The content is from all sections of SvD, mainly the weekend edition of the printed SvD. Magnus Gylje is the editor.

n His work may seem like the opposite of press photography, but Gregory Crewdson actually finds his inspiration for his amazing work in both movies, art, and documentary photo graphy.

In practice, Crewdson works more like a film director than a photogra-pher. His monumental images demand months of sketching and preparation, he uses a production gear the size of a rock band on a world tour and a crew

In Crewdson’s photos, light and landscape play key roles. By carefully setting the light of the well-prepared, staged location (outdoor or indoor) and instructing the people to pose for the photo, Crewdson creates beautiful but disturbing environ ments in which time

seems to have stopped. The ordinary people who inhabit the images appear to not being able to move – not frozen in mid-motion, but rather standing still as if they have slowed down to a halt or have been placed in their position like a puppet in a doll’s house.

The photos are super realistic, every detail is razor sharp, but also extremely articifial and arranged – nothing is left to chance. The atmosphere is private, almost intimate but at the same time keeping the viewer at a distance. As Crewdson puts it – “It’s about being there but not there”.

Everyday life in small American suburbs, the desolation of an old Italian film studio, and nightly fireflies in the woods. Gregory Crewdson captures the loneliness with his camera.

Superbly lit loneliness

All photos carry a sense of loneliness, which gave the exhibition its title – In a Lonely Place. This is also the title of a 1950 Humphrey Bogart film noir. In the mov-ie, the lonely place was the “ideal location to commit a crime”. In Crewdson’s work, you get the same creepy feeling – only, it’s impos sible to say if the crime has already been committed, or if we’re waiting for it. Fascinating and frightening all at once.

The exhibition is shown in the Black Diamond, next year's venue for the SPACE_2012 SNDS seminar. The exhibition will travel to Stenersen Museum in Oslo in the spring of 2012. n

n Aftenposten is an important and venerable institution in Norway, so it has been important for the newspaper to maintain the identity and strength that has been built up through the last 151 years. According to Ronny Ruud, Editorial Manager at Aftenposten and in charge of the process of both changing the design and introduc-ing a completely new production and publishing system, the intention was to create a contemporary-feeling but seri-ous newspaper.

To help with creating the new design, Aftenposten turned to design consultants PalmerWatson from Edinburg.

“The main difference in the presentation was to create a stronger

hierarchy between lead and secondary articles,” says Ally Palmer:

“Lead headline sizes were reduced but the character count was increased. Previously Aftenposten headlines tended to be quite short, often three words. Our basic philosophy was that the headline should 'sell' the story while the subheadline should 'tell' the story.

On the front page a ‘wide-screen’ approach to the lead element was in-troduced to create greater impact. This also requires greater planning in the news room which was something the editors were very keen to encourage.”

Ronny Ruud confirms this:“First and foremost, we have created

a system of disciplined and controlled use of instruments. We're not there yet, but the important thing is that we have started to walk a new path. The new design is a tool we will develop, and this places high demands on our editorial

departments every day”, says Ronny Ruud.

“Beyond the design changes, we have built up a system for pages and templates that allow better plan-ning and better workflow. Thus, it is important that we want to redesign the editorial approach and greater planning aspects and solutions rather than just planning text and cases.”

The new design also introduces a completely new set of typography in the newspaper – Publico and Clan for headlines and Capitolium for text.

The newspaper appears lighter and more friendly than in the old design – with clear prioritizing and careful use of white space both below headlines and between articles.

As well as rethinking the design, Aftenposten has adopted a different approach to its presentation and the overall package, sharpening its focus

A total makeoverAftenposten – Norway's most respected and biggest-selling newspaper – went through a format change from broadsheet to tabloid almost seven years ago, introducing a design by the newspaper's art director Unar Vegstein. This October Aftenposten changed its looks again – but the format is still tabloid.

FroNT PAGE The old front page (left) and the two versions of the new front page: On weekdays, the nameplate is the old trusted ”Aftenposten” logo, on Saturdays and Sundays the front page carries the characteristic black circle logo. In both cases, the pages signal easy reading and careful prioritizing.

SECTIoN FroNT PAGE Controlled use of white space in combination with strong, carefully prepared photographs sends the signal of important stories told. ”We should have (at least) three to five really good pictures every day and throw out all the unnecessary trifles”, says Ronny Ruud, Editorial Manager at Aftenposten.

on the key stories and revising many aspects of its display.

A new editorial system has also been implemented. Aftenposten now uses NewsPilot from Swedish Info-Maker. All production planning – text, images, graphics and pages – takes place through NewsPilot, while InDe-sign is used for the page production. As none of these programs were were in use already at the newspaper, all editorial staff in a few short weeks had to be trained in both NewsPilot and InDesign.

One of Ally Palmer’s favourite features in the new Norwegian design is the black circle logo that is used for the weekend sections.

“It was a much discussed element of the design,” he says. “It was something that felt very natural – the circle sits perfectly into the space above the full logo – and even in isolation it is something that is immediately identifiable as the Aftenposten brand.

The design also utilises verti-cal rules between all elements. Again this was much debated but the more pages we did, the more it felt natural, to the extent that when we forgot to add them, the pages simply didn’t look right. They help to add a sense of organisation which was one of the main things we were trying to bring to the paper.”

Palmer and Watson worked with a core design and content group but also had a lot of discussions with both senior section editors and some of the youngest journalists at the paper.

“This gave us a greater insight into what made the newspaper tick. And to our surprise it was the younger jour-nalists who were often the most tradi-tional and conservative! Maybe they felt a need to retain the history of the newspaper while the older journalists knew how far we could push things”, says Ally Palmer. n

CrISP AND CLEAN The new page 2: A great photo of the day, contact info, main headlines from the web and ”Under streken” (”Below the line”) – small funny observations and quotes from other media.

CuLTurE The supplements use a lighter headline type and a very big,

thin version of Clan for the section nameplate. The structure for the covers is also used for special section openers

in the main section on weekdays.

CLEArLy MArKED NEwS The news stories are well-researched and though packed with information graphics, maps and facts boxes, the pages give room for large photos or (see right) a commentator’s view or an in-depth analysis.

dn.se redesignedn Dagens Nyheter lauched the rede-sign of dn.se on October 25. They go the same way as Svenska Dagbladet in terms of fonts, they are now the same as in the printed edition. It’s good, because regardless of platform you should recognize the sender, or brand.

Otherwise, not much has changed. DN:s web manager Björn Hedensjö says in medievarlden.se that “I’m not in favor of the trend of horizontal sites. We are going to be a rather long and flowing site, with repetition, the economics section will show up after an economics article, for example “.

There will also be more action, according to Björn Hedensjö. The site should feel like new even for regular readers, is the idea. This means that different sections are moved during the day in the fixed columns, which has the approximate proportions 3, 1 and 2.

It is a very traditional site, in other words. It is also difficult to get a clear overview – and that is a shame. Svd.se feels much easier to read. And not to compare with sydsvenskan.se. But they are of course both more horizontally structured, with a more flexible grid system.

The latter – flexibility – should also apply to dn.se. So far, I haven’t seen any major changes, as for exam-ple when breaking news occurs. n

A4 and broadsheet – all in one productThings are happening in the Netherlands. A new model for the printed paper – The Daily XS – was launched in the Hague in November. The man behind the idea and the project, designer and consultant Koos Staal from Staal & Duiker Designers in Haren/Berlin, tells the story of the new, truely compact newspaper.

n In 2003 most daily papers were published on broadsheet format. Ex-cept for the yellow press, giving double meaning to the word tabloid, in format and character.

In 2004 British publishers of serious dailies began making tabloid versions parallel to their broadsheet papers. Easy to read. Streetsales were booming.

Continental publishers soon adopt-ed the idea. The compact news paper, easy to read, easy to handle, perfect medium for the contemporary news-paper reader with less time to read.

The first mini compact: XSBut these newspapers in tabloid format still left the reader with a feeling of

guilt. Lots of interesting stories, attrac-tive presentation, pictures and info-graphics but not enough time to read it all. Seems a daily waste of energy, money and material.

For that reason in 2004 I developed the XS, the truly compact newspaper:

Take one broadsheet sheet, fold it in a specific way and it turns into a 16 page mini-newspaper.

The trial issue contained over 60 items, articles, listings and seven ads.

Instead of printing on giant and expensive webpresses, XS is produced on a common sheetfed press at the printshop around the corner with a max run of 10,000 copies an hour.

So XS can be a perfect one-man/one-woman newspaper. Ideal for the romantics who wish to be publisher, editor in chief, or journalist of your own newspaper.

But not only these romantics liked the idea. Mainstream news publish-ers in the Netherlands and Germany appeared to be interested in the XS concept. There was just one problem: they wished to produce in high circula-tion on their web-presses. And that was not how XS was meant to be.

The next step: XS-L – the Tablet paperEarly 2010 Martin van Ee, managing director of Royal BDU Printers, sat downwith me and we actually found a way how a compact paper could be produced on their web-press.

The result was the prototype XS-L – the big brother of XS – also called the Tablet paper. Two broadsheet pages only. Glued to a 3.5-page paper. An asymmetric folding construction creates tabs for navigation and although compact it offers the overview of a clas-

PoCKET SIZE The Daily XS-L newspaper, when closed, measeres a little more than A4: 29 x 22,5 cms, to be exact.

ASSyMMETrIC BINDING Opening the paper to the first spread reveals the assymmetric folding of the two sheets of paper, which results in the ”tab” navigation in the bottom left hand corner. At this time, it’s like holding a couple of sheets of A3 papers.

oH, THAT BroADSHEET FEELING Turning the pages you enter the sections which appear in what actually both looks and feels like a good old-fashioned broadsheet paper.

sic broadsheet page, 42 cms wide. Easy to handle for commuters in crowded trains or buses.

Furthermore it is possible to print and fold the paper with a minimum run of 70,000 copies per hour.

On november 10, 2011 the trial issue was launched at the Dutch National Publishers day in the Hague: The Daily XS – A model for a compact daily paper. Costing a fraction of energy, money and material. A durable newspaper too.

For the trial issue the actual content was on my request mainly delivered by Dagblad van het Noorden, the major daily paper in this northern region of the Netherlands.

Royal BDU Printers organised the printing. The trial issue is stapled but BDU will be able to glue the pages, as you see a lot in Scandinavia, so then

XS-L will be a ‘clean’ product, which is easy to recycle.

XS-L has potential for a daily paper, application on special occasions, mani-festations, concerts, or as a print edition of digital media etcetera.

Now we’re hoping for publishers to come up with ideas to use this concept. Daily XS was made as a daily paper but it could also be a special occasion paper.

We are also thinking of creating a web-module where you can fill the pages with your own content and then have it printed by BDU.

Already, there is some serious inter-est. A weekly paper, the jury report of a major contest for cross-media journal-ism, and I have discussed the possibili-ties with the editorial board of a Dutch daily within their cross-media concept.

The idea is there, all the publishers have to do now is pick it up! n

n The New York Times just ran an interesting article titled ‘It’s All Con-nected: A Spectator’s Guide to the Euro Crisis’.

They also ran an interactive visuali-zation online with the same title, but reworked to fit on the screen.

Pretty much the same stuff – except that I challenge you to understand and gain insight from the online-version which you read at kortlink.dk/9xuw – before reading the print-version, which can be found at kortlink.dk/9xux .

Journey of informationThe printed version has a lot of text, which leads you through the story and educates you along the way on a highly complex system. The graphic is the perfect companion on this journey, where you’ll find exactly what you need and gain some extra helpful facts too. Like the explanation why Japan is not in risk, even if it has a debt of 233% of GDP. It’s interesting to explore it on your own, while you make short pauses in the reading.

The online version shows you the data and tells you some accompanying facts – but doesn’t tell you the story. The same data, but strangely disinteresting. Why would I even click around to get

the data, when I have no use for it? I’m forced into explorermode too early.

Big differences in the looks tooThe print version is elegant with good colours and easy focus on the worri-some countries. The online version has weaker colour and also a black line around every element, which kills the appearance. Black lines around the cir-cles, which separate the arrows sticking out, look very amateurish. Surrounding a thin colored line with black lines is a disaster. Overlaying text on black lines is a bad decision too.

In an effort to make the interactive version more useful, it has been split into six smaller sub-stories. But pre-sented like this the bubbles are in fact less useful. You lose context and end up with very crude charts that doesn’t aid your insights at all.

On a final note – the role of China as the unknown factor in the world of economics has been edited out of the interactive version for no apparent reason. Where the printed story ends with an entire paragraph (#7) to inform me and make me think about the future, the interactive one just ends because I run out of boxes to click.

The verdictThe printed version is a masterpiece of visual journalism, which unfortunately leaves the role of the screw-up to the

online version. On a day like this you feel really bad that print is in decline.

After the article was published at visualjournalism.com I have been in contact with people from the New York Times. They agreed that the printed version works best but felt the label 'screw-up' is unjustified for the online-version. Well - a blog needs opinion-ated writing. The awful black outlines were in part a browser problem and a new version of the online graphic has now been published on the NY Times website. n

11.003 unique coversThe Swedish magazine for all things communication and graphics, CAP&Design, printed a unique cover for the entire circulation of issue no. 5, published in November.

n Publishing a unique cover for each copy of the magazine made it possible for every reader to pick their favour-ite version on the newsstand, with a unique cover photo and a unique serial number. Not something you usually expect to find on the shelves of a news-stand – the opposite of mass produc-tion, you could say.

“This is part of our continuing effort to surprise our readers while at the same time demonstrating the possibili-ties inherent in printing technology”, says Therese Järnankar, editor-in-chief of CAP&Design.

So, how did they do? They places a young girl model, Alma Helgesson, on a chair. Programmed a camera to photograph her at very short intervals while Björn Atldax and Karl Grandin from CAP&Design’s design agency started painting the model’s face and the background behind the girl.

Twelve hours and 12.000 photos later, the next step was to place the photos in the cover template and pair the different images with a unique number for each cover. And then print, bind and package the magazines and distribute them to the resellers.

“The charming thing about work-ing this way was that several of the covers are shot in the middle of the make-up process, and sometimes Alma

would be coughing or we would put the paintbrush into her eye – and there is no cheating. Nothing was retouched digitally”, says Karl Grandin, one of the designers behind the covers.

The creating and printing of 11,003 unique covers was preceded by several month of planning and production and carried through in cooperation with design agency Vår, which arranged the cover shots, and printing house Eland-ers who contributed their expertise in printing technology and processes. n

DESIGN ICoNS oF THE PAST

Back in the USSR n Made in Russia – unsung Icons of Soviet Design presents fifty masterpieces of the more populist work of graphic and industrial design from the Soviet era. Each work is accompanied by texts de-scribing its origins and influence on the daily life of the Russians behind the iron curtain. The texts are well written with a personal touch – editor Michael Idov belongs to what he calls the last Soviet generation: he was 15 years old when the empire collapsed – so much is based on his own experiences and memories.

The monotonous array of Soviet consumer goods did not mean people were unaware of the value of good design – "against this ocean of gray, any item made with a modicum of care, the tiniest formalist flourishes, immediately shone like a beacon", as Idov puts it.

Four other Russian writers contribute with essays on specific items in this enter-taining and surprisingly colourful book about a colourless time in history.

HISTorIC TyPE MAGAZINE

Upper&lowercase n When I was in design school some 25 years ago, it was a revelation to discover U&lc., the quarterly type and graphics publication which was distributed by International Typeface Corporation. It was a showcase for much of the best graphic design work being created in the United States during the time it was published – and it was free!

Printed on varying quality paper, the designs explored the possibilities of type use and type design – from the experimental to the elegant workhorse typefaces, often presented in artistic or minimalist black and white. It certainly helped build my understanding of what typography can do.

This book provides a retrospective look at U&lc and the use of type within it, by reproducing some of the best pages from the 26 years' period it was published. Included are full lists of all topics in every single issue, as well as es-says by some of the magazine's editors through the years.

Beautiful and dis quieting n The companion book for the exhibi-tion with the same title (see page 16-17), this book shows all the exhibited works in beautiful reproduction. Both exhibi-tion and book is a co-production by the German photo gallery C/O Berlin, Kulturhuset in Stockholm, and the Dan-ish National Photo Museum. It includes an introduction to Crewdson's work, written by the three directors from the three organizing galleries, as well as texts by Gregory Crewdson himself (with focus on his sources of inspira-tion) and an essay by Craig Burnett primarily about the Sanctuary series, photographed in Cinecittà 2010.

Although the original photographs measure up to 144 x 223 cm, the book gives a very good impression of the strength and quietly disturbing atmos-phere of Crewdson's work. You want to be part of the life shown – but at the same time you're afraid. Fascinating.

vISuAL SToryTELLING

Show and tell n ”Infographics are neither illustrations nor ‘art’. Infographics are visual journal-ism and must be governed by the same ethical standards that apply to other areas of the profession”.

These words by Juan Antonio Giner and Alberto Cairo are quoted on one of the first pages in this book. They pin down precisely what the purpose is here – giving infographics its claim to fame in its own right.

The examples and case stories are well chosen and presented with good reproductions of the many wonderful visuals.

Visual Storytelling is divided into two main parts. The first, Part A, is entitled Visual Storyteller and consists of interviews with eight infographics professionals who have created or super-vised excellent work all over the world. A selection of the works accompany the in-depth, hands-on explanations.

The larger Part B is Visual Stories – an abundance of examples from the infographic production, divided in five chapters: Breaking News, Science, Geogra-phy, The Modern World, and Sports.

Visual Storytelling is an extremely useful and inspiring book, if you work in the field of visual journalism. It’s a must-have for every graphics department in every media company, newspaper or editorial office, especially if you produce content for print. If you are a visual jour-nalist, graphic designer or infographic artist you will most certainly want your own copy to find inspiration at every hour of the day – even when you’re off from work.

THE APPLE ICoN

The ultimate Steve Jobs bio n For once in his life, Steve Jobs (1955-2011) gave up control, when in 2009 he finally persuaded Walter Isaacson to write his biography. “It’s your book, I won’t even read it,” Jobs said to Isaac-son, a former managing editor of Time.

For a person so obsessed with control over everything he did, this was very unusual. The Apple CEO also opened up his private life in an unseen way. “I wanted my kids to know me,” he said. “I wasn’t always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did.”

One of the most charismatic busi-ness leaders in modern history, Jobs revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing and digital publishing. It’s easy to understand that such a huge success would have costs.

The aim of this book is to show the “roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur with a passion for perfection.” The ultimate story of a very unusual busi-ness icon – in 42 chapters over 600 well-written pages. For a Mac fan, this is a fascinating must-read – as it will be for many others as well.

Clever design essays n Designobserver publishes essays and articles at the intersection of design, photography, illustra-tion, architecture, urbanism, sustainability, social innovation and visual culture. The site is divided into five main ‘channels’ – Observatory; Change Observer; Places; Observer Media; and Observers Room. Each has their own focus – Change Observer, for instance, is devoted to the many dimensions of design for social innovation, while Places is a journal of con-temporary architecture, landscape and urbanism.

In a time when everybody comments on almost everything on the web’s numerous social networks, DesignObserver goes against the trend:

“We publish pieces because we think people will enjoy reading them; if a good discussion starts, that’s great, but not the primary goal”, the editors write on their ‘About comments’ page.

This approach makes reading the entries a peaceful experience, with a minimum of noise. The comments that are published are actually mostly were clever.

A pay site that feels really good

n Recently some new interesting pay walls has been built up on news web-sites. One of the most exciting attempts is from Boston Globe. In September they launched bostonglobe.com. This is a web site that is almost completely free from disturbing (read: jumping) ads, flying Flash components and – also – colors.

It simply feels like reading an ordinary newspaper almost as on paper. Black and white. Big pictures and info graphics makes it of course even more like.

The first month was free to sub-scribe. The next month you had to pay $1 and what the cost will be in the future is not decided yet.

Javier Zarracina, Graphics Director at Boston Globe, says:

“The overall idea is that the pay wall site will attract different audiences and advertisers: The pay site will try to create a more distinctive, exclusive audi-ence for a community of subscribers that transmits the journalistic values of the paper and the brand. Somehow we try to recreate the voice and read-ing experience of the paper into the digital devices. It has more limited but much more exclusive space for quality advertising.”

A quality pay wall website should attract readers. It’s only when the qual-ity is good enough I believe that you can charge for news on a web site.

And just as this is written Shibsted has decided to introduce Schibsted payment (see: kortlink.dk/a3cz ). And Svenska Dagbladet in Sweden seems to jump on the train pretty soon.

I will be following this development with great excitement. n

How make money on the website? The question has been on the agenda since the birth of news websites some 15 years ago. At that time we unfortunately chose to drop all news free. And we are still there at the same position – almost. The Boston Globe is an exception.

Local news, everywhereSNDS President Anders Tapola anders.tapola@smp.se Photo: leNa

”The internet enables those tasks to be performed remotely, and other news-paper chains have made similar moves.”

This is a part of a message from Cox Media Group from October 27. The headline is ”Cox Media combining jobs at AJC, other papers”.

AJC is Atlanta Journal-Consti-tution, and the Cox Media Group has decided to consolidate different newsroom and business functions at its four newspaper locations, which also include Austin, Texas; West Palm Beach, Florida; and Dayton, Ohio.

And this will probably mean that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Statesmen Co. in Austin in the future will be designed in West Palm Beach or Dayton.

This is just one of many strange news this fall on what’s going on in big media groups.

Design hubs are spreading like a hurricane in the US right now.

Another notable news this fall:n The Tribune: Orlando Sentinel in Orlando, Florida will be designed and laid out mostly by people working at The Chicago Tribune office. What possibly will remain to do in Orlando will be Sport pages, Living sections and Front pages.

And it’s just not Orlando. The papers included in this consolidation at The Tribune are: Fort Lauderdale SunSen-tinel, Baltimore Sun, Hartford Courant, Allentown (Pa.), Morning Call, New-port News (Va.) and Daily Press.

When I ask Charles Apple, visual journalist, instructor and in fact the one who knows most of what happens in the news business, if he knows other examples of this consolidation trend, I get a list that is long as a PhD thesis in Media and Communications.

He writes: ”The list of papers in the US is really too long to be compiled. This is happening a LOT. And a LOT of newspaper chains have been doing

this for a while without many people knowing about it.

The reason: Most readers might not look kindly on the idea of their newspaper being produced by strangers in another town, in another state. Or nearly across the country, in some cases. Most readers want their newspaper to be locally based and locally produced.

Therefore, you’ll find very little con-crete material out there on this topic.”

He also writes: ”The Tribune currently creates “modules” – ready-made pages and portions of pages that papers drop into place. So after the Tribune made all its papers redesign, it then went back and made everyone change their designs to accommodate the modules. You don’t want typefaces changing from page to page.

The idea is to increase the amount of modules and to gradually move more and more of the production to Chicago. Folks in the Tribune chain won’t really talk to me about it – they’ve all been warned not to – but somewhere from a quarter to a third of the chain’s papers are currently produced in Chicago.”

On the long list from Charles Apple you also find those media groups mak-ing (or already made) the same steps:n McClatchy recently shut down the de-signers and copy editors in Raleigh and moved all the work from the Raleigh News & Observer to the Charlotte Observer. Ditto for Rock Hill, S.C. And they will soon do the same with its South Carolina papers: The State in Columbia, the Sun-News in Myrtle Beach, the Island Packet in Hilton Head and the Gazette in Beaufort.n MediaNews’ “Bay Area News Group,” which consists of San Jose Mercury News, Contra Costa Times, Oakland Tribune, Santa Cruz Sentinel and some other papers.n Media General consolidated nearly all of its papers last year. It created a design center in Hickory, N.C.

n E.w. Scripps Company which includes 14 newspapers around the country and nearly all of them use a hub system for design and editing.n Paxton Media Group, which owns 32 daily newspapers. Much of the chain’s design and editing is done in Owens-boro, Ky.n Gannet. Of the entire chain, the only papers not included in its consolidation project are USA Today and the Detroit Free Press. Around 80 dailies is being consolidated into five hubs in Neptune, N.J., Phoenix, Ariz., Des Moines, Iowa, Louisville, Ky., and Nashville, Tenn.

What about Scandinavia, then? Well, in Sweden there is similar news from just a couple of weeks ago:n Kvällsposten in Malmö and GT in Gothenburg will be designed at Expres-sen in Stockholm in the future.

What really bothers me about this development is that consolidations and centralization previously just involved management, advertisement, IT-solutions and departments that had not touched directly on the local journalism.

But now it is clear that also journal-ism is included.

If we tie up the bag and return to the opening quotation from Cox Media Group: ”The internet enables those tasks to be performed remotely, and many newspaper chains have made similar moves.”

So, if the Internet suddenly makes every task remotely and if all news-paper chains run in the same direction (as always): Then why not make all news design from all over the world in for example in Mombay, India, then?

What, don’t they have the local jour-nalistic competition and knowledge?

Or is journalistic skill really something you can transfer to anyone, anywhere?

If so, we should all react now – before it’s too late. n
