Daily Telegraph goes full colour

LONDON - The Daily Telegraph relaunched in full colour today (2 September) with a host of changes, including the launch of a new crossword and a redesign of its business and sports section.

New look: The Daily Telegraph's new full colour business section

Telegraph Media Group's (TMG) quality newspaper now features colour-coded pages and expanded features and comment sections.

As part of the redesign of the 12-page business section, data will be spread across the top of the news pages.

Colour-coded bars now appear at the top of all pages: maroon for comment and features, blue-green for news and dark blue for business.

The paper's new crossword, called The Toughie, will run from Tuesday to Friday and forms part of a tailored puzzle page.

Other changes include an expanded back-page weather section with more than 250 separate reports from the UK and abroad.

TMG's move to full colour follows the group's decision to contract rival publisher News International to handle all its printing operations.
