Tribune Drops Tabloid Edition

One of the big "innovations" of the Tribune during the Randy Michaels era was changing the design and shape of the newspaper. Michaels convinced them to print it in tabloid form.

The last tabloid issue will be sold at newsstands on Friday.

I say Bravo! I never liked the tabloid version because it reminded me too much of crappy tabloid papers like the New York Post. The content never went there, but subconsciously (at least for me), it didn't seem to have the same gravitas as it once had. Judging by the sales figures released in that article linked above, I'm not the only one that felt that way.
