Our Expanded Coverage of the Shrinking New York Times
Late on Friday, The New York Times announced it would combine its Metro and Sports sections into section A and Business Day, respectively, in Metropolitan editions, effective October 6. The move is an attempt to save money by increasing the number of single print runs at the Queens printing facility. There will be “no lost of content for the readers,” according to an email sent by Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, but there will be a later deadline for business news on Monday nights and a free-standing Arts section on Saturdays.
The change allows the Times to eliminate the need for double printing runs on multiple nights at the printing facility, which will of course save money.
