Last week, as I prepared to conduct a workshop for Media 24 attended exclusively by members of their newspaper titles, I thought it would be good to start with a review of how printed newspapers are doing today.

Although the workshops are all about the tablet, and how to take their newspapers to iPad app editions, which all of them will do in due time, I figured that I wanted to tell this group of editors, designers, copy editors that, indeed, printed newspapers thrive in many parts of the world, and that they adapt and grow. In some cases, new printed newspapers are born.

I always want to make it clear that my involvement, enthusiasm and, let’s say it, passion, for the iPad and the creation of apps, does not, in any way, take away from the pride we take in working with the rethinking of printed products which, as we constantly say, are going to continue to grow and to adapt.

So, in preparing, I turned to see how our Garcia Media projects have fared, and I collected these front pages of assorted projects, which I share here with you.

It is wonderful to turn to projects you have already completed and see them not just adhering to the rules that were set up at the time of a redesign, but also enhancing, improving, moving positively upwards with the concept. Here you go!

The samples you see here have been compiled from all Garcia Media offices, including Garcia Media Europe (Hamburg), and Garcia Media Latinoamerica (Buenos Aires). Special thanks to our Buenos Aires team, Rodrigo Fino and Paula Ripoll for their assistance.
