It’s been 11 years since The Joplin Globe was last redesigned, so the time for a makeover is long overdue.
Beginning this week, we’re holding a number of forums with readers seeking their thoughts about how we present our news, the readability of the paper, the sizes of the type and headlines and our overall look.
These sessions with the public will take place over the next few weeks and then we’ll begin our work. Here’s how you can help:
Tell us how you read the paper. Front to back or is there a certain section you pull out first.
Consider the names of our sections: Town and Country, Your Money, Let’s Eat, Health and Family and People. We may be renaming some of our sections and we’d like your input.
How about our front-page flag? Do you want a more contemporary look or should we consider going back to our original old English style?
Let me know by posting a comment to the blog. It will be early fall before we unveil our new look. We’d like you to be a part of the final product.
The Wal-Mart at “JANE” is actually at Caverna. We citizens have fought to keep Jane from taking us over {no-one wanted us when we were just liquor stores}. We are proud of our history so please get our name correct. We were here before Jane was even a thought!
