What, in your opinion, is at least one of the best or worst papers you’ve read? One of my best has to be the Sun News of Myrtle Beach, if only because (unless I’m mistaken) it is apparently locally owned and printed by the Sun Publishing Co. which is headquartered there. As such, it does not follow the cookie-cutter design scheme of the Gannett papers.
Speaking of Gannett papers, their USA Today has very definitely been one of my worst lately, as has the Greenville News. Not only does the Greenville News have very poor design (not helped by minor font changes, if that), but their second page has USA Today on it, and the baseball part of the sports section is from USA Today (and most of the sports section is from the AP).
