Three more broadsheets downsize

Three more weekly newspapers are downsizing from broadsheet to the compact (aka tabloid) format.

In three weeks time, the Berwick Advertiser and its sister titles - the Berwickshire News and the Southern Reporter - will adopt their new shape. The changes are part of Johnston Press's nationwide relaunch programme.

The Advertiser, a broadsheet for more than 200 years, sells about 6,000 copies in print every week, with the News selling 4,500. The Reporter, which is based in Selkirk, sold an average of almost 14,000 copies in the first six months of last year.
