The changes follow on from similar relaunches of the Liverpool Echo and Birmingham Mail last year, which saw those papers adopt a fresher design and more positive outlook following reader feedback.
Readers and advertisers will notice the MEN’s modern typeface and layout which is complemented by content which is celebratory and engaging, say the publishers.
There will be a series of added value supplements and sections which mark a deliberate and specific move to provide interesting and relevant content for the aspirational and younger audience. This includes a new Travel section on Monday, and Home supplement on Tuesdays.
"The Manchester Evening News is booming,” said Rob Irvine, Editor-in-Chief, “thanks to our award-winning website - the biggest regional site in the UK - and we have a bigger audience than ever before, and it continues to grow.
"However, like Greater Manchester, the MEN doesn’t rest on its laurels and always strives to get better at what it does.
“We know the way readers consume media has changed dramatically so the MEN has to adapt to survive.
“That’s why we've created a great new look for our print edition, which reflects the success story that is Greater Manchester.”
