The Economist , has undergone a major redesign , introducing colour and changing the font and navigation, among other things. The changes are a bit of a shock, especially for a publication that does not publish reporter's bylines because its collective voice and personality matter more than the identities of individual journalists. The redesign, developed by FutureBrand, almost seems like the end of an era. To me the newspaper always had a sense of order, and it has lot some of that.
Life goes on.
In the past week as well, two of my favourite television shows, The West Wing and The Sopranos , went into hiatus for a while. If I go to England I will have to figure out how I am going to watch them, as well as the occasional game of American college football. Star Trek Voyager ends forever on Wednesday. Billions of Alpha quadrant citizens must have jumped for joy when they heard that he decamped for a Talaxian colony.
