Germany’s Handelsblatt goes compact
18.11.09After more than six months of planning, preparation and speculation, November 2 saw the first edition of Germany’s redesigned political and financial daily Handelsblatt, writes editorsweblog.org.
The Garcia Media redesign signifies a milestone in German press, as the publication is the first quality German newspaper to make the decision to switch from the broadsheet to the compact size. As Garcia himself points out, other publishers will now be watching and gauging reactions, and asking themselves whether they should now take a similar step.
