In yet another cost-cutting move, New Media, which recently purchased the Erie Times-News, has announced that they will print the already thin daily paper in miniature form.
“We are excited to get into the growing market of Erie, which I understand is somewhere in Pennsylvania,” said New Media president Michael Reed. “This reduction in size is a cost cutting move, as we work to transition the Erie Times-News from a family owned local institution to an afterthought on a long list of corporate holdings. I asked many members of the Times staff about this change, but they all retired before I got any answers.”
New subscribers will receive a free magnifying glass and semi-unlimited access to Goerie.com.
How very, very sad! I thoroughly enjoy reading the news daily and do the crypto quips, jumble words and crosswords. As a young senior citizen I need print to be larger, not smaller! All this change for greed.

I was thinking about calling in for larger print for these old eyes
