SR Undergoes Some Shrinkage

Item: New size brings content, design changes to S-R /Editor Gary Graham, SR

More Info: Welcome to the new-look Spokesman-Review. The paper you’re holding is narrower than it used to be. The change is a cost-cutting measure, but we also believe readers will find the compact size easier to handle and read. The new size prompted us to make a number of content improvements, which we’ll roll out this week. Today, for example, marks the debut of Northwest Exchange, a community news page focusing on local newsmakers, reader comments and the week ahead. The Today section launches a column on activities for parents and children as well as a daily TV column.

Question: What impression do you have of the smaller Spokesman-Review that you found on your doorstep or on the news stand today?
