Today's issue of the Dunfermline Press is its first in a compact format after 152 years as a broadsheet. According to the paper's website, this is because readers in their thousands said that size matters.
The paper's managing editor, Simon Harris, said: "It was not an easy decision but we have responded to many requests from our readers."
Founded in 1859, the paper is the flagship title of its Scottish publishers, Clyde Forth Press. Latest ABC figure (Jan-June 2011): an average sale of 15,679 copies a week, down by 5.7% on the same period the year before.
