Making News Sites Friendlier to Print Readers

The University of Missouri’s paper The Missourian has developed a weekly, experimental version of their paper called EmPRINT that mixes Web and print formats. Designed with print newspaper readers in mind, it offers navigation similar to flipping pages of a newspaper and the ability to print the edition on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.

The USA Today article linked above, which offers no live links to any of the sites mentioned in the article, has more details about the format.

Thanks for sharing, Nina!

Addendum 5/27: A comment on the Frassle mirror of this blog asserts The Missouri isn’t a student newspapers, so I changed my text above.
