Newspaper format
A newspaper format called standardized dimensions of a non-whipped newspaper in the specified width by height (in short: W × H ).
In the 1970s there were around 60 different paper formats for newspaper printing in Germany . DIN 16604, which was laid down in 1973, was intended to “facilitate cooperation between the advertising industry and newspaper publishers and printing companies when placing advertisements and lead to a uniform usage of language regarding dimensions”.
The column width can also vary; common formats are e.g. B. 90 mm (one column), 90-95 mm (two columns) or 185 mm (four columns).
A format of a newspaper in the formal, non-technical sense is the orientation of its content, its column structure , its layout and more. The format, i.e. the concept of a newspaper, is uniformly designed and recognizable. The same applies to the television format .
Common formats ( DA-CH )
As usual in practice, the closed formats are listed here; the open format is therefore twice as wide.
