I'm repeating this question today, probably the thinnest edition-day of the week, so everyone can better visualize the size range of Gannett's 85 newspapers in the United States, and 17 in the UK.

ReplyDeleteHate to say "big" changes at the Burlington Free Press surfaced today.
ReplyDeleteJust months after a price hike, we introduce The Incredible Shrinking Paper!
Total paper is in one 14-page section, with a Business Monday tab that is 28 pages. The BizMo tab has comics, puzzles, horoscopes and Annie's Mailbox.
In addition, we're now printing on the narrow press. Funny, I can't find anything about the changes on-line.

Nothing on the AFC championship game -- the C-N didn't bother to hold its deadlines.
Mondays and Tuesdays for the Daily Advertiser in Lafayette, Louisiana, are 16 pages.
ReplyDeleteI was talking with a friend at church and she said, "What's happening with the paper? Is it drying up or what?" and I assumed she had read about the unpaid furloughs and started talking about that. No, she missed the story online about the furloughs but was coming to this conclusion just from the light weight of the papers lately.
ReplyDeleteCincinnati Enquirer .. 3 sections/28 pages
ReplyDeleteTennessean: 38 pages, 4 sections

ReplyDeleteThe smaller Ohio dailies are all 8 pages each on Monday and Tuesday! And I am told the readers are livid, and cancelling in large numbers! Anyone can confirm this???
ReplyDeleteHow about you stop taking such delight in the company's problems?
ReplyDeleteIt's tedious. Go watch a Judy Garland movie.
Sections are smaller because there are no ads.
ReplyDeleteSt. Cloud has 20 pages, plus an 8 page pullout of reader submitted news.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say that St. Cloud was 2 sections. A section was 10 pages. Sports section was also 10
ReplyDeleteI question whether today's page counts really tell us much. Budget period 1 is always when newspapers try to save newshole. That's even more true during tough times.
ReplyDeleteIt's also generally a slower period for news, with Mondays the slowest of all.
And this year, it's the day before the inauguration. As someone with past experience managing newshole, I'd definitely be squeezing every day I could - including this morning - just to drive more space into coverage of Obama this week.
Just my two cents' worth.
Why obsess about Gannett reductions in page count? Have you seen Time, Newsweek or other newspapers lately? Everything's pretty skimpy these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the percentage of advertising vs. news in the paper, that is what counts rather than the number of pages--in other words ad inches vs. news hole.
ReplyDeleteReno Gazette-Journal. 4 sections, 28 pages.
ReplyDeleteJim, I have to agree with 5:13 pm on this. What's your point? January is crap, the economy sucks and things suck in general.
ReplyDeleteYou ask for information you've already requested previously but you don't tell anyone what it is for. What did you do with the last batch of page counts you received? Is there nothing else to report on? And so many blindly cough it up - not that it's secret or anything. But why? I don't get it. But whatever floats your boat.
Guam, yesterday (Monday), tabloid, 36 pages.
ReplyDeleteI didn't count but The Arizona Republic was $0.75 versus $0.50 last week. The person at Starbucks made a very pleasant apology. I was busy reading Cardinals stories but I'm sure the paper was 50% better and bigger than last week.
ReplyDeleteFort Collins, Colo. ... 2 sections Mon/Tues 8 pages each
ReplyDeleteGee, I couldn't tell you. I didn't get my paper today - I heard it's the first day since PCF took over delivery. It wasn't even worth calling about, I'm sad to say.
ReplyDeleteI like just to know. It's nice being able to compare. Ever just look at the Newseums front pages....not doing more than just gathering info.
ReplyDeleteYou know corporate compiles info like this all the time.
az republic is a little bigger then last week due to the az cardinals going to the super bowl. it'll probably be a little bigger for that reason for a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteA-16 pages
B-8
C-28
D-8
C-Sports probably 10 or 12 pges bigger and A maybe 2 or 4 bigger
educated guess because i don't have last weeks paper in front of me
az pressman
Just love all the kool-aid drinkers who bristle at the idea of this. Um, does anybody remember J-School where we learned nobody covers all the planes that land safely in airports? Remember, we only cover plan crashes. That's what's happening here - the page counts are indicative of an impending crash.
ReplyDeleteHow many papers went to narrow press recently? Burlington, Florida Today, others?
