Petite Post!

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."

I wish I were sharper and had something Post headline-ish to say about this...

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.
