Chicago Trib goes compact

A column in today's Chicago Tribune offers a closer glimpse at that paper's plan to add a tabloid-size newspaper.
The paper, which will hit streets on Monday, will have the same editorial content as the traditional broadsheet edition.
The story says, "This format shift by the Tribune represents a surprising notion that there might still be room for growth in old-fashioned newsprint for an industry struggling with hard economic realities and trying to develop a business model for the Internet."
