Sunday Herald to relaunch as news magazine?

There is speculation in Scotland that the Newsquest-owned Sunday Herald may be relaunched as a news magazine, allmediascotland reports.

It suggests the revamp could take place for the January 9 issue and sources suggest the newspaper might even be re-titled the New Sunday Herald and have its sections folded into one, magazine-style publication on relatively high quality paper.

allmediascotland says it put a series of questions to the Herald & Times Group, but a spokesperson replied, simply, "No comment."

Last month the Sunday Herald won the 'Weekly Newspaper' title in an Europe-wide newspaper design competition.

According to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, the Sunday Herald's average sale in Scotland last month was 41,314, down 3.9 per cent on 12 months previously.
