Hartford Courant

As newspaper obituaries are being written across the country, I wanted to draw attention to one venerable old rag, the Hartford Courant, published out of Hartford, Connecticut since 1764.

The Courant, despite its age, has in recent years won awards for its iconoclastic front page design, as you can see from these examples, above... and below...
For Obama's election victory, the Courant switched the front page to landscape view. For the President's first budget, designers spilled a graph of tax increases across the front page.
