The old GT was a do-it-yourself construction job because the printing press could not print it in one piece and the management fixed a deadline for the first print run that was too early for us to put sports in a different section from the front page.
Frankly, I'm surprised the comments about the new look are as positive as they are, particularly from people who apparently have some knowledge of newspapers. There are some fundamental mistakes in really basic stuff that are quite dangerous. I'm biased, of course, as it was my old design they threw out of the window (it was about the last thing left from my time there).
