Toronto Star prepares new Sunday paper
By Adnews Staff
The Toronto Star will launch a redesigned Sunday newspaper on Jan. 16. The magazine-style broadsheet will consist of four sections containing breaking news, features, columnists, sports coverage and entertainment stories. The publication will also use more colour, photography and graphical elements. "Increasingly people can get the basic news story of the day off the Web or from television or radio, so newspapers must relentlessly deliver more value, particularly on weekends," said editor-in-chief Giles Gherson. "With features as the focus of the newspaper and colour on every page, it's like a hybrid magazine, truly unique," said Sunday editor Alison Uncles. "We've put a heavy emphasis on great writing, photography and design, so the content will match the elegant look."
