Knoxville makes some changes

[JayFarrar]

Two section Mondays!

The biggest change will be in Monday's paper. The start of the week will feature a quick-read edition in two sections, News and Sports, as well as classified advertising.
The "A" section will combine national and local news, with emphasis on local. The weather charts will move to Page A2, and the obituaries will appear in the back of the section. The section also will include our editorials and letters to the editor.
The "B" section will be Sports, including comprehensive reports on the weekend's games. At the back of the section will be the movie ads, TV listings, comics and puzzles.

Four sections for every other day but Sunday

Tuesday-Saturday, readers will see a four-section paper, plus classified ads. The four sections will be:
"A" — News, including local and wire reports, weather and obituaries.
"B" — Business and Comment. The A-to-Z stock listings will be discontinued, but stocks of local interest still will appear daily along with other data on the markets. The editorial pages will share the "B" section with the business news.
"C" — Sports. No change here. The News Sentinel will continue its broad coverage of the University of Tennessee, area high schools and other local teams as well as news from around the nation.
"D" — Features. Here you'll find TV listings, comics and puzzles, just as in the past, but in a new line-up of themed sections. You'll also find celebrity news presented in a new format by the News Sentinel's own Terry Morrow, who'll look for East Tennessee ties to the world of glitterati.

A sign of things to come. Memphis is about to do it as well.

I frankly don't see anything that wrong with this. Often times the Monday paper is the weakest of the week.

I'd rather see cost savings in this way than other ways.

"Quick-read edition."

Uh huh. I bet it'll be REAL quick to read, what with its lacking content and such.

A lot of Scripps papers already do this. Surprised it hasn't happened there already, actually.
