Well I disagree with you this time!
Dear Editor,
Your young staff seem to feel that “new is better”.
Well I disagree with you this time!
The “new” Free Lance is much harder to read, the front is lighter and the layout doesn’t seem to “flow.”
I have to put on my glasses to read the “new” paper, but I can still read an older issue without them. I have to look for the continuing article on the same page because the layout can be confusing.
You should be proud of the 130 year old name “FREE LANCE” yet you hide parts of the name with photos. Some of them have been soccer photos. It makes the front page look like it should be the sports page. Let the name stand on its own. Don’t interrupt it trying to be cute. It’s not! Be proud of it’s tradition and history.
I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but new is not always better, and your enthusiasm needed to be tested first. It’s still easier to read the San Jose Mercury News and, yes, the Free Press and the Pinnacle!
The paper is here to inform us not look cute!
We want to be able to read it!
Ruth Erickson, Hollister
