Does Size Matter?

I think so, especially when it comes to fish wrap in the shape of a Journal Sentinel.

I noticed this at Starbucks, that the JS was considerably smaller. Not tabloid of course, but it's not the same size as a WSJ. A sign of things to come? A reflection of their dwindling readership, or their shrinking relevance and credibility?

Take a look the next time you're near one. Wonder what it was like to be in a meeting with execs and have to face that decision.

Funny you mention that, Phel. WSJ is actually going to reduce its size:

Rumor has it is the MJS is going to get even smaller. I have been delivering it for 4 years now and the gutter is shrinking and the quality of paper has gotten considerably thinner. Well at least the papers this December are lighter I don't think my Min-van can handle much more. Arghhh... My days there are numbered anyway.
