Gannett's incredible shrinking newspaper

Is it just me, or does Gannett's latest wheeze speak of desperation? After completing a two-year conversion of its 85 daily papers from 52-inch web size to 48-inch, the company is now considering a second reduction to 44-inch web (resulting in 11 by 22 inch papers). One Gannett title, the Visalia Times-Delta in California, made the cutback in August and others are expected soon. A cynic might observe that if papers go on shrinking at this rate they'll end up disappearing up their own websites. (Via Editor & Publisher)
