They all look tiny compared to the paper we have now. Is the idea to save money and go with a smaller paper?
The prototype covers posted on this blog may look tiny but I urge you to see the actual pages that should be posted in the library and the BLUU. The originals are roughly the size of an 11" x 17" sheet of paper.
In fact, the image area of the tabloid is exactly the same width of the old broadsheet.
As far as saving money, that was never a reason to move to the tabloid format.
Portability and a faster, friendlier read were the main factors.
We also took the average 6-page Daily Skiff and basically folded it in half to create a daily standard of 12 pages for the new product.
Production costs are similar for the old and new newspapers.
