This is the weekend edition of TheMarioBlog and will be updated as needed. The next blog post is Monday, September 5.
These local regionals part of Holland Media Combinative produce 17 daily editions, distributed across central and northwest Holland
It is great to be involved in Holland with a group of regional newspapers, which, all under one editor and central desk, produce the bulk of the content and execute the design. However, what is different, the big differentiator, is that very local content prevails in all 15 editions of newspapers that extend geographically from central to northern Holland.
These newspapers are all part of Holland Media Combinative, a part of the Telegraaf Media Group, which publishes the national daily, De Telegraaf.
For me personally and for Garcia Media, it is the fourth project in which we are called upon to unify visually and journalistically a group of newspapers which publish in different cities.
Readers of the blog are familiarized with our work for Canada’s Postmedia group, and in the United States, American City Business Journals, The McClatchy Group and, currently, the Gatehouse Media.
While visual styles are created to guarantee a look that can serve the various newspapers, the content continues to be quite local. I have started this project in Holland, working with newly appointed editor in chief, Arjan Paans, and with art director Peter van den Elshout. Together we have kicked off this project for completion in early 2017.
Together, these regioinal newspapers produce 16 very local daily editions throughout Holland.
