The Saugerties (N.Y.) Post Star relaunched last week with a new design and new content. We asked editor Donna Gomez about the process and the reaction.
| Why did you decide to redesign your newspaper? |
We all felt it was time for a fresh, new look. |
| What can you tell us about your community? |
Saugerties is celebrating its Bicentennial this year and there are many wonderful events planned. We are also the home of Woodstock '94, The Garlic Festival, The Mum Festival and HITS. |
| What changes did you make as part of your redesign? |
Besides the great new look from Gatehouse designers, we are incorporating many Community Journalism pieces and public service journalism pieces. |
| How have readers reacted to the redesign? |
We have only heard good things. The community seems to love the new look. |
| What advice do you have for papers considering a redesign? |
They should let go of any fears they may have and just jump in full force! |
