The new look of The Sofia Echo

Wed, Sep 17 2008 11:03 CET byClive Leviev-Sawyer 363 Views

The Sofia Echo published on September 19 has plenty of new stories to tell - all set in the new-look redesign of Bulgaria's national English-language newspaper.

Friday's issue takes a bold leap into the trend for visual journalism, and boasts a better design, with new typefaces, more space and new visual elements that will help you read more easily.

What we have not changed are the core values of The Sofia Echo: first class journalism, respect for you, the reader, relentless passion to find and explain the news you need to know.

Leading that news this week is our coverage of money matters, from the continuing practice of some enterprises in Bulgaria - illegally - charging foreigners higher prices than they charge Bulgarians. At the same time, this week's issue delves into the implications for, and impact on, Bulgaria arising from the global financial crisis.

Our business section has the latest on the labour market difficulties for employers in Bulgaria, with a fascinating new twist on what has emerged as the key factor for job candidates in choosing an employer.

The Sofia Echo's regional coverage includes an update on developments in Serbia and an in-depth exploration of the dynamics in the upcoming election in Romania.

In the features section, Rory Parsons muses on driving in Bulgaria, Pavel Ivanov reviews Cashback, and you will find our new-look listings a fascinating and useful guide to what's on in all areas of entertainment in Bulgaria.

Just one of the exciting changes in the newspaper is the revamped and expanded - and ever-popular - social pages. Rounding off the reborn newspaper is our sports section, with coverage of rising star Grigor Dimitrov.
