Our traditional Sunday paper morphed into an extended tab called NewSunday. We published prototypes last spring — one in April and one in May — and let our readers give us feedback. We then spent the summer retooling and launched in September.

Some features of NewSunday:

  • a magazine-style front
  • a four-page cover story
  • tighter news items to make room for longer pieces
  • a Muse section covering arts, faith and health, with a color double truck each week for a photo spread
  • a Play section covering sports from the point of view of both spectator and participant
