Pretty soon, your newspaper will be the size of a postage stamp.

Beginning next week, the paper will institute three changes intended to reduce printing costs without compromising newsgathering resources or news space. On Sundays, the Insight and Books sections will be printed in tabloid size – the same dimensions as Sunday Datebook, also called the Pink. Books will be inserted into Insight as a pullout section so readers can read or save both sections separately. On Mondays and Tuesdays only, the Sports and Business sections will be combined, with Sports starting from the front and Business from the back. The Classified section will be attached to the back of Datebook on those days. Columns by two popular Datebook writers – Jon Carroll and Leah Garchik – will move from the last page of Datebook to the second page every weekday.

I hope they still have room for the Sudoku puzzle.
