If only the Methodist Recorder would See It Right

It has been a hard week travelling up and down our white and pleasant land. Lots of train delays have meant that I've spent longer sitting around looking at the snow than I would like. So little time for blogging.

Last week I mentioned the re-design of the Methodist Recorder. I actually like the style which is very much 1980s and will be acceptable to many readers.

However I would have hoped that a religious newspaper staffed by professional journalists would have wanted their paper - redesigned or otherwise - to actually be  be readable by their readers.

For a large number readers there are key bits of the Recorder that are now unreadable. Putting black type on purple is one sure way of losing a significant numbers of readers, yet this is exactly what the Recorder have done over two weeks for the excellent five part Lent series (see page 15 today and try to read the boxes).

Surely someone at the Recorder can take time to study the brilliant  "See it Right"  products from the Royal National Institute for the Blind?

Perhaps all these late trains have made me a little grumpy. More blogging at the weekend.
