By: Charles Geraci The Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram published an 18-page 3-D section on April 1, purported to be the first ever in the United States ? and aimed at younger readers. "Though the journalistic factor in this is probably zero, it was a fun thing to do and created a lot of reader response," said Jim Witt, the newspaper's senior vice president and executive editor.
The section was composed strictly of 3-D photographs taken around Tarrant County, as well as advertisements, viewable through special glasses provided by the paper. The section was delivered to both Sunday and daily subscribers. At 10 cents each, the glasses cost the paper $35,000, as it has a circulation of about 350,000. "The glasses were the most expensive part of the section," Witt said.
Readers were also able to use their 3-D glasses on the Star-Telegram's Web site, www.star-telegram.com, where additional photographs appeared than in the print section. This content is still available.
