IHT redesigns newspaper, merges website

The International Herald Tribune on Monday unveiled a redesign of its print edition and merged its website with that of its owner, The New York Times. The new front page features a new streamlined nameplate using a typeface that more closely identifies the Paris-based English language daily with the New York Times editions. Each section has been reshaped with cleaner layouts emphasizing bolder treatments of photos and section headings, said a note to readers by IHT editor Martin Gottlieb. The new website was described as a 'global home page' for combined copy from the IHT and the New York Times from more than 40 bureaus worldwide, and edited in New York, Paris and Hong Kong. There had been speculation that the IHT's days were numbered after The New York Times announced last year that it was shutting down the website. But IHT publisher Stephen Dunbar-Johnson said in October that the Times was committed to the IHT, which has been based in Paris since 1887. (AFP)
