Philly Inky to do 3-D | Analysis & Opinion |
What is it with the renewed interest in 3-D? Not to be outdone by the movies like Avatar and a sudden burst of sporting events to be broadcast with players looming in the foreground, newspapers want to jump in on the trend.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, fresh out of bankruptcy aution with new owners, is rolling out a special 3-D newspaper section on Sunday June 13. The Web site philly.com gets the treatment on June 14. The paper will helpfully provide 3-D viewing glasses inserted in the Sunday edition so readers can get the full visual effect of “local interest” photos and a front page folded ad — known as a spadea in newspaper lingo — from Best Buy.
