The news section of The Observer is the entry point for most readers of the paper and as such is vital in setting the initial tone of the product.
We want The Observer to take the lead in breaking the significant, agenda setting stories that get the paper talked about. We also want to have a tone that is warm and engaging, encouraging our readers to spend time with the news section in the same way they might with the magazines or review.

Sunday is also a day for analysis and making sense of complex issues. We want to be forward looking and also inject a little bit of fun and irreverence into our reader's day. I hope all are reflected in the news section.
