We've spent a great deal of effort in recent years improving our sports report. We've increased the staff, the news hole and the quality of the work. Look for those sections to be first to experiment with color in the months ahead. It's a monumental change for the world's most revered newspaper, one not taken lightly. The paper changed a great deal in recent years but the changes have always been gradual.
Color tends to be more stark, more obvious.
We'll have a subtle approach that's based on news values. Color will gradually be spun out over a period of months. The timetable will be set by how happy we are with how it's evolving. At some point we'll have the capacity and the confidence that we know what we're doing and the event will come along where it makes sense to use color on the front page. We give more attention to national and international.
