Va. daily slims down

The Daily Progress in Charlottesville, Va., trimmed its web width to 44 inches as part of parent Media General’s move to convert all of its papers to the narrower format.
The change is being implemented to reduce the paper’s annual newsprint bill, said McGregor McCane, managing editor.
“While the newspaper has a more trim format, we’re keeping popular, regular features,” he said.
The Daily Progress is printed at the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch, which took over production of the daily last summer.
Masthead International oversaw the web-width reduction of the Times-Dispatch’s presses.
