Future of Newspapers, II

In an earlier post, I tried to evaluate the future of newspapers. The latest reports show newspapers headed in the same direction as computers: miniturization. WSJ managing editor Paul Steiger announced at the Yale Club that each page of the Wall Street Journal will be 20% smaller when a redesign is completed later this year. Perhaps this is a gradual process designed to culminate in us reading the paper on our cell phones. However, given the age of newspaper's primary readership, it does seem a little unfair to begin providing smaller papers rather than larger print.
