    Here's the BBC's story on its changes:

    LINK

    I tried to cut and past it, but the site automatically included a lot of irrelvant stuff, making cut-and-pasting impracticable.

    BTW: No Page-Three pin ups.

          Actually, it isn't. The overall numbers of newspaper readers continues to increase, which is why newspapers are making rather a lot of profit. As a percentage, however, it is declining, especially among younger people.

            Actually, you're wrong.



            The heyday of the newspaper industry was the 1940s, but the percentage of Americans reading newspapers began to decline with the increased competition from radio and television. A growing population helped the absolute circulation numbers continue to increase until the 1970s, where it remained stable until the 1990s, when absolute circulation numbers began declining.

              Well, that's not what they were claiming on tv.

                Those of you who are saying it's a minor change - The entire frontpage is completely different!

                  A minor improvement. It would be much better if they didn't have such a ridiculous amount of whitespace - just look at the emptiness of the 'Around the UK Now' and 'Around the World Now' sections.

                      I think he's constructed an argumentative alterego for the Off Topic forums and is having a bit of fun at the forum's expense.
                      At our expense? Wiglaf is half the reason the OT is worth reading!
