http://newspaperhistory.blogspot.com/2004/07/before-we-went-crazy-with-layouts_04.html
Sunday, July 04, 2004. Before we went crazy with layouts. This is the broadsheet version of the Daily Telegraph, August 1, 1927. The look is very clean compared with post-World War II newspapers; there is a very clear headline style and even though heads bump everywhere, I had no trouble navigating:. Note: these are all bad photocopies; I'll replace them with better, readable versions when I get the CD copies from the library. Here is what Harold Evans had to say about Aussie newspapers in the 1960s:.

Newspaper design history: Scanning the paper
http://newspaperhistory.blogspot.com/2004/07/scanning-paper.html
Tuesday, July 13, 2004. I haven't had time yet to go hunting for one of Larry Lamb's "picture-free zone" front pages from 1982, but did find this weathered copy of an inside page which is still a good example of the layout style during his reign as editor. I also got an advance copy of the July 15, 1964, liftout which will be published Thursday and have scanned a couple of pages:. And this is the leader page from the first edition:.

http://newspaperhistory.blogspot.com/2004/08/finding-my-way-back.html
Saturday, August 28, 2004. Finding my way back. It's hard to get motivated again when you've had to take a break. Work has been so busy that I've been coming home. Tired and just haven't bothered with the research. As well, my mail is all stuffed up because of the recent move and books and other things I've been waiting for are goodness knows where. Meanwhile, just to prove I have been working hard, I've posted a new page on. At News Page Designer. Posted by Lee @ 9:34 AM. At April 11, 2007 at 6:42 AM.

Newspaper design history: A brief flong with history
http://newspaperhistory.blogspot.com/2004/07/brief-flong-with-history.html
Saturday, July 17, 2004. A brief flong with history. I'm too busy packing to do this properly right now, so here's the potted version of the teaser I posted a while back:. Why were there so few photos in the early editions of The Australian and why were they rarely used downpage? Designer Guy Morrison knew the pages would look better with downpage photos. So where were they? In Sydney, says Morrison. Why did Morrison think designing a new paper easier than working? What is a flong? It's a paper mache mou...

Newspaper design history: Bird pipped
http://newspaperhistory.blogspot.com/2004/07/bird-pipped.html
Sunday, July 04, 2004. I've just found a reference that says the Dead Bird was not the first Australian newspaper to publish a half-tone photo. In his paper,. The Culture of Newspapers:. The Slow Birth of the Modern Newspaper in Australia, 1890-1940. Peter Dowling credits the Illustrated Sydney News with the "first", in August 1988. I'm off to the State Library in about an hour to go back into battle with the microfiche, so I'll try to find it. A quote I enjoyed from Dowling's paper:. At February 21, 200...

Newspaper design history: An interesting Guy...
http://newspaperhistory.blogspot.com/2004/07/interesting-guy.html
Tuesday, July 06, 2004. This week I've had a great chat with Guy Morrison, who designed The Australian in 1964. Because the 40th anniversary is imminent (July 15) and I'm pitching a story for the anniversary edition, I'm not going to give away details just yet. Instead, in true newspaper style, I'll post a teaser. Why were there so few photographs in the early editions, and why were they always placed above the fold? Why was creating the look for a national newspaper from scratch easier than "working"?

http://newspaperhistory.blogspot.com/2004/09/size-matters.html
Thursday, September 09, 2004. From the Media section of The Australian, September 9, 2004:. Compact about the size of it. THE future of newspapers whether they will shrink or disappear altogether was the hot topic at the Pacific Area Newspaper Publishers Association annual conference on the Gold Coast this week. Eric Beecher, former editor-in-chief of the Herald and Weekly Times, singled out the internet as a serious threat to capital city broadsheets that depend on classified advertising sales. He said ...
