Media: New Yorkers wake up to a splash of colour
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The New York Times' crossed a rubicon yesterday, using colour on its front page for the first time in its history.
When it introduced colour on the fronts of inside sections on 15 September, the newspaper said that its front page would remain grey a bit longer, until the production staff got used to the process and editors had a really strong picture to run.
Yesterday's front page had two colour photographs: baseball star Tony Fernandez of the Cleveland Indians, and Attorney General Janet Reno.
Other New York papers have joined the international trend of adding colour. The Daily News started using colour photos on the first and last two pages of its weekday editions in September, and the New York Post introduced a colour pullout TV schedule. -- AP
