To our readers:

Obviously, you’ve noticed something “new” with today’s Newton Daily News. It is the culmination of nearly six months’ work by nearly every department at News Printing Company, all of which began with a survey of our readership.

As you turn the pages, it is our hope you notice two major differences in today’s paper compared to those of the past several years: 1) it’s easier to read, and 2) there’s more local content to read. Both of those were our ultimate goals when we set about the redesign process in July.
