From Broadsheet to Tabloid - Effects on Production in the Conversion

Summary

The Swedish Newspaper Association Tidniningsutgivarna (TU) published the report called “Produktionspåverkningar i övergång från Broadsheet in till Tabloid” in January 2004. Moving from broadsheet to tabloid is a worldwide phenomenon and newspapers all over the world face similar challenges if they want to follow this route. The statistics are from Sweden – the findings, the checklists and the recommendations can be used anywhere. Ifra wants to thank Tidningsutgivarna for the opportunity to publish this report. Cecilia Campbell of CC Editorials has translated the report from Swedish to the English language and has also added the international point of view. Authors of the original Swedish report were Johan Stenberg and Lisa Wiberg of MWM.
