Innovations in Newspapers

‘Innovations in Newspapers‘ by author Juan Antonio Giner, is an extremely political blog, with vast majority of attention being on the US Presidential Campaign.

Although I do not consider myself to be politically minded, I found this blog fascinating.

Juan Antonio Giner follows blog conventions by writing in single sentence paragraphs and presenting news more as conversation, not as a lecture, with the laid back writing approach.

The most fascinating aspect of this blog, in my opinion, is that the author is able to tell a story through a vast array of images used and there is little need for words.

In, ‘Getting nasty, but good for obama‘, the only words published by the author are,

“More and more nasty signs against Obama.

Republicans are doing a lot for Obama with these signs.

And they don’t know to stop this crazy trend.

Democrats must be very happy to have such a stupid enemy”.

By using such strong, visual images, even the limited words published did not need to be.

I also think it is ironic that the publisher of this blog and founder of the media consulting company Innovation International, Juan Antonio Giner, has an archive that dates back to June 2005.

That is definitely very innovative.
