UK: Guardian Weekly to switch to smaller format
Posted by Lindsay Berrigan on April 30, 2007 at 2:33 PM
Starting May 4, the Guardian Weekly will follow the Guardian’s lead and shrink from tabloid to half-Berliner format.
The masthead, headlines, and text, will follow the Guardian as well in changing to a light typeface. To compensate for the smaller format, the Weekly will average 48 pages rather than the current 32-36. The Berliner format retains broadsheet proportions but allows easier handling and reading. Content will remain the same except for a minor shuffling of puzzles and games.
The Guardian switched to a full Berliner format in 2005 and has seen increased circulation since.
