AK has opted out of the traditional newspaper delivery of news to one of a magazine-cum-newspaper design. The reason for this is simple: Readers have long enjoyed the benefits of four Filipino newspapers in practically the same format, with emphasis being on straight-news at the front followed by opinion pieces and features. AK now brings magazine-style feature stories to the front, with opinions and news taking a back seat, feature stories with news value as well as timeless feature stories and pictures that tell of what Filipinos bring to this country. July issue is just the start. AK's look and content will gradually evolve into a newsmagazine that will give the Filipino community and the mainstream something new. Pleasant reading.
