Wall Street Journal to Reduce Size

The Wall Street Journal has joined so many other newspapers and is reducing the size of the physical paper. This redesign includes cutting 3 inches off its width. This is roughly equivalent to One column. Other major newspapers have also cut their width in recent years as a way to save money, including The Washington Post, Tribune Co.'s Los Angeles Times and Gannett Co.'s USA Today. The New York Times is planning to reduce its width in 2008. Dow Jones believes they will save $18million dollars/year.
These changes will take effect on January 2.
