    In memos/articles such as this, the lede is always buried.

    At least it's (apparently) not layoffs.
     
  3. Nope, just re-arrangement of the deck chairs.

    They didn't bury the lede, they didn't even publish it.

    35 less pages per week and 20% staff reduction, according to legendary Cleveland muckraker Roldo Baltimore:

    What SportsPredict says is mostly true.

    There are two different things going on here. The PDF says Sunday Forum is expanding to six pages (if you're cutting 35 pages a week, you're definitely not adding anything)...

    Egger's obviously the last word here.

    Sunday's Forum section is already six pages. Two of the pages currently print book reviews. The book reviews will be moved to a different section, so the Forum will be all editorial on Sundays (once again). Same size section.

    I'm excited about the changes. I'm sure it will mean more advertising, more subscribers and more jobs. Can't wait!
