The tabloid format spreads
Monday, 7 March 2005, 22:53
So far, the broadsheet newspapers’ enthusiasm for switching to the tabloid format seems to be confined to the European side of the Atlantic.
But now, via Newsdesigner.com, I see that the Chicago Tribune is thinking of going tab.
Incidentally, if you want a hint of what the Guardian’s Berliner-size format might look like when it comes out later this year, check out its weekly tabloid-size student edition, which is only available at a handful of universities.

I’d be very surprised if the Berliner Guardian looked anything like the Student Guardian. You might as well say, “Take a look at the G2 section for a hint of the new style.”

On this side of the Atlantic we have New York Newsday, The New York Post, and Barron’s among others in a similar format.
I find the tabloid style easier to read, especially in crowded trains and airplanes. I suppose many Californians would also find the format easier to read while driving to work in the morning.
