From today, daily newspaper The
Straits Times gets a new look, and, along with it, new features, among which
is weekly tech magazine Digital Life debuting today.
|
|
Digital Life is the reborn version
of The Computer Times which had its last issue published last Wednesday.
|
|
The Straits Times is 159 years old
this year.
|
|
The new-look Straits Times has
been redesigned to:
|
|
- provide and accommodate new and
more content
|
|
- make it easier for you to access
the various sections
|
|
- ensure a sharper demarcation
between news and features, analysis and commentaries
|
|
In a message accompanying today's
edition, Editor Han Fook Kwang said the new daily read "contains many of
our newest ideas on what we want The Straits Times to be and to do for
you."
|
|
"Our fresh, new look,
incorporating many of the latest elements in newspaper design, is the work of
our own designers, who have won awards establishing The Straits Times and The
Sunday Times as Asia's best designed papers."
|
|
"We've put news on Asia
further up front in the paper, ahead of news from the rest of the world, to
reflect the growing importance of the region to our readers."
|
|
Other new features include:
|
|
- weekly lifestyle magazine Mind
Your Body debuting tomorrow. It comes out every Wednesday.
|
|
- weekly lifestyle magazine Urban
debuting 21 Oct 2004. It is published every Thursday.
