Columnists like Scott Joseph, who had a critically honest take, have been replaced with folks like Heather McPherson, who doesn't seem to give a negative review. I'm glad to know that some folks like this new, "improved" version as we're planning on dropping our subscription soon.

Call it what you will, but I increased my Orlando Sentinel subscription from Sunday only to seven days a week.

This is the type of newspaper I want on my doorstep every morning -- it's engaging, energetic, fun and almost infinitely scalable depending on how much time I have. And I especially love those opinion pages, great ideas implemented well. I must admit I was taken aback a bit by the wide text measures and grids on the covers but, like any good reader, I'll get over it (then complain when this design changes). And implementing the new typefaces is a really good idea (that I'll quite possibly have to steal). You get a new design out there to readers while keeping a nod to the past. And no complaints about the body type getting smaller. I kid ... you'll still get complaints about the body type. At least this way the design can be praised (or panned, I suppose) on the Big Ideas rather than getting caught up in the minutia of whether or not you made the bridge column type smaller. Anyway, kudos all around for creating a lively, engaging product. I can't wait to get my hands on an issue. Cheers (and good luck)!
