When I first glimpsed it - on a table in the waiting room of the dentist's office this morning - my first thought was "abomination," a completion of the USA Today-ization of the Freep, since Gannet owns both. Now, upon sober second inspection, it just seems like they've homogenized it to look like every other newspaper in a secondary city market. Whereas the FP used to have [[up to Sunday) a striking, clear and engaging design - one of the most coherent and tightly-laid out papers in the US - that's all gone out the window for generic style headline fonts and lots of bland gray columns and white space. Yuck!!
