I work for one of the newspapers which has been relaunched and I’ll have you know that readers - yes, READERS, not bitter and twisted dead wood - are very impressed with the new layouts and new content. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.  Oh do shut up you miserable lot.

It looks as if the office boy was allowed to go mad with the letraset some time in the 1970s and it just stuck. I know mastheads are sacred cows, but this one should have been taken to the slaughterhouse. Other JP papers have modified their mastheads as part of this process, what makes this Chesterfield clunker so special?

Then they started having news on them. There was even a strenuous move to get rid of the advertising from the front altogether, because it interfered with the reporting of news. Now we seem to be going full circle, with the only "news"on the front being teasers, including the so-called "splash".... Once upon a time, newspaper front pages were exclusively advertising.

Apart from SEX-MAD, you get none of the blood and gore etc from the splash headline. You get CLOWNE MAN IS GUILTY (yawn). You could liven it up with SEX-MAD KILLER'S ORGY OF BLOOD - or whatever - but not that he lives in Clowne and he has been found guilty of something (liking sex perhaps?). The strapline/subdeck isn't the splash headline. I think Binary Boy has missed my point. Apart from SEX-MAD, you get none of the blood and gore etc from the splash headline.

How bland.

The Bucks Herald seems to have been the first of the new titles on the streets, as it publishes on Wednesday; much the same as these, but using a serif headline font. The template is very obvious.

Dreadful splash headline in the first and drearily presented splash in second with not a clue about what the guy actually did. Did our hero dial 999 or drag someone from a burning wreck? Back to the drawing board. Don’t like either. Dreadful splash headline in the first and drearily presented splash in second with not a clue about what the guy actually did.
