Starting today, The Times is reducing the width of its pages by an inch and a half, to the national newspaper 12-inch standard.
The move cuts newsprint expenses and , in some printing press locations, makes special configurations unnecessary.
Slight modifications in design preserve the look and texture of The Times, with all existing features and sections and somewhat fewer words per page.
I welcome the smaller format as it makes subway reading more manageable and less intrusive to others. You know, I am a considerate rider, I don't wear scents, comb my hair, cut my nails, taking up more space than necessary when I ride the train.
Now I never buy any paid newspaper, just get a free newspaper from the lobby. The only pages that I seriously read is the football gambling

There are at least two free newspapers here, Metro and AM New York but I don't bother reading them.
