The UK's top-selling regional daily morning newspaper, the Aberdeen-based Press and Journal, will no longer publish broadsheet editions from next year.
The paper has been produced in compact form on Saturdays for years and in July last year adopted that format for Monday issues too.
Now the Tuesday to Friday issues will go compact from January after a rather lengthy trial.
Editor Damian Bates explained the change by saying that the Saturday and Monday compact editions "have been incredibly well received by readers" who "have been asking when the P&J will go compact across the rest of the week."
The P&J, part of the Dundee-based DC Thomson group, has been the best-selling regional morning daily for years.
The latest ABC figures (January-June 2011) showed it had an average daily sale of 71,044, which was 4.6% down year-on-year.
