The world is in black and white

Nah, of course it isn’t – but sometimes it’s just so much easier to see what the world looks like if you remove disturbing factors, like colours. I guess that is why many award-winning photo­graphs are not in colour like the ‘real’ world is, but in black and white.

DN:s omgörning – strikta formmallar är passé

Dagens Nyheter fick ny form i höstas. Vi bad John Bark, med erfarenhet av tidigare omgörningar av DN, att intervjua Rickard Frank, tjänstledig från jobbet som chefredaktör för Trelleborgs Allehanda.

Get ready for SPACE_2012

We admit it. The media business and SNDS have their foundation in print. Newspapers, magazines, books. That is why SPACE_2012 will open in the garden of The Royal Danish Library, founded in 1661. But when we have passed through the Harry Potterish reading hall with its green porzelain lamps we physically and mentally enter the future. We move into the next phase on rolling pavements to the panorama view over the Copenhagen harbour through dark glass windows of the Black Diamond, built 10 years ago.

Size matters

Which size is the best for a piece of paper? For newspapers, judging from pure statistics, it’s clearly the tabloid format. Most Scandinavian papers have abandoned the old-fashioned, unprac­tical broadsheet years ago. In Norway practically all papers are in tabloid, in Sweden only Hallpressen print in broadsheet – and rumour has it that the only reason for this is that their printing machines simply cannot handle the tabloid format.
