AP Sports Extra previews get new look from GateHouse

The Associated Press' paginated sports previews are getting a fresh new look for 2015. GateHouse Media's Center for News & Design will design and produce the pages, starting with the Super Bowl, which is available now in AP Exchange.

GateHouse will oversee design and pagination of the pages in coordination with AP. They will be distributed through AP's delivery systems in Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator and PDF formats.

"AP newspapers and their readers and advertisers will appreciate the new look and design of these easy-to-use pages," said Barry Bedlan, AP's deputy director of sports products. "GateHouse brings a fresh approach that will benefit all users of these pages."

AP Sports Extra preview pages are available at no additional cost to members who take the AP Sports option. Each includes advertising space to sell locally.

Besides the Super Bowl, Sports Extra pages are available for major sporting events such as the PGA's Masters, NCAA men's basketball tournament, NFL draft, NASCAR Sprint Cup chase, and college football's bowl season, among others. The pages are provided in full broadsheet, half broadsheet and tabloid sizes to newspaper subscribers of AP Sports.
