THE NEW YORK TIMES FORMAT

The Old Grey Lady is going down a dress size.

The size of the page will shrink an inch and a half.

And the news hole will be shrunk, too, by 5%.

Wrong move.


This has been done before and readers hate that format.

The last thing to do today is to keep the broadsheet model and make it more difficult to read.

What readers want is compact and compelling newspapers.

The New York Times is a first class paper with a third world format.

One day, I am sure, they will fix it.

Like the "jumps."
