I'm afraid I'm still on about the Guardian, with some hopefully what will be perceived as helpful criticism. This time it's the front page of the paper edition.
It is laid out in a way that I find very frustrating. Typically there may be three quite interesting stories, but none of them is complete on the front page. You have to turn to page 2 for the continuation. So to read one front page in its entirety you need to turn to page 2 three times.
It can get worse; you may have to turn to different pages for the continuation of each story.
The edition of Monday the 12th July reached a new low.
Story 1 - continued on page 4.
Story 2 - said "continued on page 6-7" Also a large icon indicated the whole story on 2-3. In fact it was continued on 2-3 and the main story was there.
Story 3 - said "continued on page 2" Also a large icon indicated the whole story on 6-7. In fact it was continued on 6-7 and the main story was there.
So the sub-editors got highly confused as must have been all the readers.
