I don’t like the changes in format that the Washington Post has made. It looks like a combination of the New York Times and the Gaithersburg Gazette. The font looks strange – not as weirdly pretentious as those New York Times headlines that look like they’re from the 1940s and seem like a parody of a newspaper, but it still looks a little too retro.
Maybe they’re trying to save money. I don’t mind that they’re taking the color out, but now they have those pictures of columnists, only they’re not pictures – they are like pictures that have been computerized somehow like they do in the Wall Street Journal. Just what we need, the newspaper to look more cheap and unlike the Washington Post.
It looks bad. It just looks wrong. The old look was good. Bring it back.
