THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE NEW FORMAT OF THE NEW YORK TIMES
Yes, the reduction in the size of The New York Times will mean a loss of 5 percent of the space the paper devotes to news.
But if the paper only reduced the size of its pages, it would lose 11 percent of that space.
Bill Keller, the paper’s executive editor, said in his memo that such a loss would be too drastic, so the paper will add pages to make up for some of the loss.
“That’s a number that I think we can live with quite comfortably,” Mr. Keller said of the 5 percent reduction, adding that the smaller news space would require tighter editing and putting some news in digest form.
Tighter editing?
That is good news for us, the readers.
