Ad Some More News, Will Ya?
The Kansas City Star has just redesigned their paper, printing it on new presses. It results in a smaller overall size, brighter colors, sharper pictures and text, and a more contemporary overall look. It really looks great!What I DON'T like is how many freaking ads there are! I don't read the actual paper much, usually getting my news online. When I was browsing through the new paper yesterday I couldn't help but notice that the ads were essentially swallowing up the actual articles. In two side-by-side pages, maybe one little L-shaped corner of one page would have an article. EVERYTHING else is ads.
Now I understand The Star is in business to make money, but come on, folks. Let's not go overboard.
