Innovative ideas are a way to amaze the raders with new ideas and concepts.

Innovative Visualization. The editorial staff of "Salzgitter-Zeitung", a by-edition of "Braunschweiger Zeitung" from Germany, have used a satellite picture to draw the public's attention  to empty shops. The source is indicated as "Geobasisdaten der Niedersächsischen Vermessungs- und Katasterverwaltung" [Geodatabase from the Administration for Surveying and Mapping and Land Register of Lower Saxony]. Some newspapers  now use Google maps as sources and  are able, to indicate deviations, pinpoint areas where accidents are likely to occur, show courses of bicycle tours, rambling tours and a lot more by means of satellite photos. A useful tool at everybody's service.

Junior Page. "Neue Presse Hannover" has  a sports page for children and teenagers at regular intervals.  They present different kinds of sport, usually with a cut-out picture as an eye-candy.

Infographics for Children. In the section "Zeitung für Kinder" ["children's newspaper"] texts and infographics are presented in a suitable way for children, which means that they are simple and clear and do not rely on previous knowledge. The page above provdes  information on the airbus A380, which is not overloaded with details
