NY Times Revamping Metro Section

Less columns, more longform.

The New York Times is updating its metro section by removing columns and adding more in-depth stories.

In an interview with Politico, Times metro editor Wendell Jamieson explained, “I’m trying to reimagine coverage of what I believe is the greatest city in the world as part of a global news organization. How do you cover New York differently when you’re covering it for the world as well as local readers?”

One such change? Getting rid of many columns.
