The Glasgow Guardian is Dead. Long Live the Glasgow Guardian

By the end of summer the paper is going to be redesigned from scratch in print and online. New editors, new website, new print design. The way we make content will be rebooted (up the arse) along with how we distribute it.

Writers, photographers, section editors, sub-editors, print designers, illustrators, photographers, web designers… say hello and let’s fuckin’ make something!

    Im not trying to be either critical or sarcastic, but could you please tell more what changes are you planing and how exactly you planing to change content ? Style, news, topics, what exactly? Since you already posted this news it would be intresting to hear more deatails, cause so far all what you said sounds like cheap politics' promises about change for change http://youtu.be/adc3MSS5Ydc?t=1m14s

      Well, we're having a redesign in print which will include a resectioning of the newspaper. This will likely see, among other things, inSight no longer as a supplement and the front page treated as a splashy contents page rather than just the first part of the news section. We're hoping to shift news focus from summary of events onto investigative stuff. More analysis and debate, less summary.

      News will be published online when it happens, not published to coincide with when we go to print. The web redesign will remain WordPress, but it'll be easier to use, look nicer, have more content on it and have more facebook integration.

      So, those are the first few things that spring to mind.

    So given that you're pushing to publish more online are these online articles going to be vetted by the SRC? Given that its still the trustees of the SRC who would be sued for any screw ups(as the publishers of Guardian) surely its crazy to treat the print copies differently from the electronic.
