Here is a striking front page design, and an interesting approach to bringing petitions to life in news stories.

The South Wales Argus collected 5,345 names on a petition in favour of free parking in Newport – and printed every single one of them in its paper. A good sample of them are on the front page, in place of a picture.

There can be no greater illustration of the credibility that named sources bring to a story.

Let’s hope that it sells them a few copies, too.

Editor Kevin Ward told Hold The Front Page: “It is not something I would do every day but it does make quite a striking front page. I think publishing the names is quite important because it recognises the opinions that those people have.”
