Synopsis

There has not been a book of this scope about graphic design and graphic design issues, as they apply to today's newspapers, for over a decade. Through in-depth, highly visual essays on the graphic evolution of some the world's most famous newspapers, this carefully complied survey examines how both technology and design have radically reshaped the look of the news over the last 15 years and continues to do so.

John Berry, one of the best design writers and editors of the past decade, has assembled an energetic group of case studies of recent newspaper design projects. The span of this work is only a few years. If the editors can keep to the course and if designers can keep building the momentum, I'm ready to say they are going to save the whole industry. Newspapers may yet be around for a long time to come. Roger Black from the Forward.
