The Independent Travels In Colour
THE Independent is leading its news agenda with news of a new Travel Magazine.
And not just any travel magazine, but a colour travel magazine, a happening emphasised by the world “colour” being written in no less then six separate colours.
Once upon a time, the world was in two colours: empire red for everywhere that mattered; blue for everywhere that was wet.
But now there are six colours. It is sensational stuff, and one imagines that even if the Indy took up the American spelling, “color”, the five colours would still dazzle its readership.
“Claudia Winkleman”, “Simon Calder”, “Madrid”, “Atlanta”, “India” boasts the Indy’s front page.
Readers may wonder if this is a calibrated scale of importance, with reality TV presenter Winkleman slightly more important to the paper’s news coverage than Mr Calder, the paper’s perky travel editor, the capital of Spain, a city in the US and the Indian sub-continent.
One wonders where other celebrity writers would fit into the scale.
Is Kerry Katona more important than Rhyl and should Lulu be placed before or after Vienna?
Much for the Indy’s staff to wrestle with…
