This article is part of an academic investigation into Design as a catalyst for revitalising rural areas that proposes an innovative editorial design project for a regional newspaper, both in print and digital formats, for the village of Mourão in the interior of Portugal. The project’s mission is to fortify the bonds between residents and emigrants, infuse dynamism into the territory, alleviate the sense of disconnection, and deepen the relationship with the region’s rich heritage and culture. The research was conducted through literature review, observation of graphic objects, and interviews with experts in the field of newspaper editorial design. This comprehensive approach allowed for a detailed contextualisation of the region and existing editorial objects, a deep understanding of the significance of a regional newspaper in an inland municipality, and a thorough study of the graphic elements that constitute a newspaper. The findings from this research formed a robust foundation for developing the editorial design project for the newspaper, providing an in-depth understanding of the implications of such a project.
