A 64-year-old English daily in Thailand the Bangkok Post on Friday published a 3D newspaper, the first of its kind in the country.
The three-dimensional effect was applied to most of the daily’s coloured news photographs and advertisements, which could be seen through 3D viewer glasses provided free with the newspaper. The text is still in the same format.
Friday’s special 3D edition celebrates the Bangkok Post’s 64th anniversary, and the newspaper price is still 30 baht per copy. The 3D photographs are in all sections, including national news, world news, sports news and business news in the 40-page main part of the newspaper.
The newspaper won the best overall design award in the Asia-Pacific and West Asia as adjudged by Wan-Ifra, the world association of newspapers and news publishers, in Kuala Lumpur recently.
