Photograph by WCBS 880's Evan Bindelglass
On some news stands now: Less of the Post's angry demands (like today's)! WCBS 880 took this photograph of a smaller NY Post, noting it's miniature size, 11" wide by 12" tall, versus its standard size of 11.25" wide by 13.75" tall.
The smaller size appears to be a result of Post owner News Corp. investigating ways to achieve greater operational efficiencies--the Wall Street Journal is 11" wide. A newspaper industry analyst told CityRoom, “It sounds as if this change would more easily allow printing both newspapers on the same businesses."

They should shrink it down to the size of a postage stamp.
The Post is one of the few "newspapers" that has found a way to fit 10 pounds of shit into an 8 pound bag. Now it's a 7 pound bag.
It should be on a roll with easy-to-tear-off sections. And without the ink on it. The ink comes off on your butt when you wipe it.
I noticed this days ago and am surprised nobody wrote about it until now. I admit that I sometimes bought the Post for my morning subway ride, mostly because it's just a fun and easy read for 25 cents. But not any longer after this shrinking incident, now I'm dishing out 50 cents for the News.
I wish I were sharper and had something Post headline-ish to say about this...
"Murdie, I Shrunk the Post!"
I only read the post usually when it is 2 days
old at the Laundromat,yuck.
