Newseries Evans on Newspapers

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series of four programmes with Harold Evans
Editor, The Sunday Times 1: Front Page News
We now take for granted the way our newspapers look, from screaming tabloids to sober, ordered broadsheets. But behind the look of today's newspapers lies a fascinating history. HAROLD EVANS shows how, for over 300 years, ' geniuses, dullards, madmen and saints' have wrestled with the problems of newspaper design, arguing that changes in design tell us about fundamental values and priorities in societies.
