Can you add some margins or, even better, allow to customize text width? Perhaps both of those could be customizable in persistent settings? Downloads get hung up so that one can be waiting days for issues that never show up. The Globe should be embarrassed that it's name is associated with this piece of junk. Don't buy it. How the Globe allows this to happen is incomprehensible.
The new app is out, and I find it much improved. The only downside is a somewhat inconsistent page turning when I swipe left, but that may be my technique. It took a while but the Globe May have mended its ways. Perhaps the biggest change to come since — and perhaps the biggest new factor for potential buyers to consider — is its digital circulation strategy.
At the New England Media Group, of which the Globe is by far the biggest part, advertising dollars have continued to drop, to the point that, in , ad revenue made up only 47 percent of total revenue. The future of the Globe was already changing before the announcement of the sale, as the company juggled innovation in print and online to find new revenue.
In a series of interviews from the last several months, a picture emerges of a newspaper with a strong tradition and local identity that is trying hard to find its footing in the new business of journalism.
When I spoke with McGrory last week, he argued in very plain terms the past and future of the paper and its city are tied together. Time and again, the Globe has broke the biggest stories, every day, that are vital to this community. The state of play between the two sites is shifting. He said untying Boston. With that much traffic pouring through Boston.
At launch, the newsroom allowed five free stories from BostonGlobe. Now that number has been reduced to four, and Globe sports columnists have been cut back.
McGrory said drawing a line between the two sites means changing the content. The new Boston. The new framing of the sites would have Boston. But inside the Globe, the move to two websites meant adapting their workflow for stories, graphics, and multimedia.

The paper amplified that reporting through data visualizations, video, and other multimedia only available on BostonGlobe. The Globe divided the audience for that into two buckets: people willing to pay for a newspaper and those who want news, information, and entertainment mixed with a little social engagement.
For Boston. For BostonGlobe. Another area Mayer wants improvement on BostonGlobe. Part of the sales pitch to readers is its clean, distraction-free reading experience. Rather than create a native application, the Globe opted to create a site that could be adapted to a computer, a tablet or a phone. It has applike features, such as the ability to save stories and read them offline and an emphasis on photos and other multimedia, but it is still distinctly a web site.
Despite all of the optimism emanating out of the Globe camp, the new site does raise some questions. Given that print subscribers will be able to access the new site for free and that the Globe considers itself a regional paper, who will buy the digital subscriptions?
