Hey everyone!

Some of you might remember my Enova post here a few weeks back. This is what I built next.

Meet Meridian, a print-editorial Ghost theme made specifically for news publications: newsrooms, magazines, and digital publishers. Enova is the all-rounder for blogs and newsletters. Meridian goes the other way. The whole goal is to make a Ghost site read like a real newspaper front page instead of a blog feed.

What makes it a newspaper:

• Newspaper-style front page with an asymmetric lead grid, a most-read rail, and a sticky newsletter signup
• Seven homepage section layouts you arrange just by tagging posts: feature packages, briefings, opinion columns, tag columns, and grids
• Built-in ads (banners or AdSense and Ad Manager code) you place from your dashboard, hidden automatically from paying members
• Local bookmarks readers save right in their browser, with no API key and no signup
• Reader-controlled text size and Light, Dark, or System mode, saved between visits and synced across tabs
• Video posts that play YouTube, Vimeo, or uploaded clips in a click-to-play hero, with a sticky corner mini-player as you scroll
• 13 languages, and a Tailwind CSS v4 and Vite build, so it stays fast by default
• A true print edition

As with last time, I'd genuinely value your thoughts and feedback, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you!

Kasun.
