It's The New Day - first look at Trinity Mirror's new newspaper
Calling it “the first standalone national daily newspaper for 30 years”, the company will launch the Monday-to-Friday title on Monday, 29 February. According to a press release issued early Monday morning, it “will report with an upbeat, optimistic approach and will be politically neutral.” The New Day, with a turquoise masthead, will run to 40 stapled pages every day on thicker-than-normal newsprint.

And Trinity Mirror’s chief executive, Simon Fox, said: “Over a million people have stopped buying a newspaper in the past two years but we believe a large number of them can be tempted back with the right product.
