In November 2011, the paper moved from a traditional broadsheet format to a tabloid/compact format. Design editor Taylor Lineberger led the redesign, along with editor-in-chief Nathan Meacham. A majority of the paper is now printed in color. "We decided the paper needed a more visually striking design – one that would be more appealing to our readership. The front page will now grab your attention in a way it never has before. The paper will be easier to flip through, read and digest between classes, or on your lunch break," the editorial board wrote in a Nov. 20 editorial. "The news cycle has changed and so have your reading habits. News hits your cellphone or laptop long before you have the chance to pick up "The State Press" on campus. That’s why we created a product that speaks more to the college experience – a product that ties traditional print news to new forms of digital media."
