Business Day gets bold new look on Monday

Ray White, standing in for 702's Bongani Bingwa, speaks to Tiisetso Motsoeneng, Business Day Acting Editor.

Listen below:

Business Day is evolving to better service its audience with a new design featuring a compact size, succinct analysis and user-friendly format to ensure users can stay informed in any situation from any location. 

Its Berliner format is slightly larger than a tabloid, but it is only three columns across. A broadsheet usually has six columns and a tabloid a maximum of five.

Motsoeneng says the change was implemented after receiving reader feedback with some saying, "You need a whole desk to read Business Day."

The 'bold' new Business Day will start circulating on Monday, 14 April.

"We're striking a perfect balance between a broadsheet and a tabloid... it's called a Berliner format... something easier to handle. This change came after reader feedback that sometimes you need a whole desk to read Business Day."

- Tiisetso Motsoeneng, Acting Editor - Business Day

"... we listen to your feedback. Here is the format that's user-friendly, and easy to handle, but we are not compromising on the quality."
