Major Redesign of the 'Times'; Fewer Sections

Desperate times are yielding some extreme measures at The New York Times. Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. just announced a major redesign of the weekday paper that will involve moving the metro section, heretofore a standalone, into the "A" section (where it will coexist with the national and international reports) and merging the business and sports sections. Media Mob had the scoop.

"There will be no loss of content for readers," promises Sulzberger. In fact, they -- and Times reporters and editors -- will benefit from later deadlines in many cases.

The changes take effect Oct. 6.
