Among the seeming-near-deluge of editors writing "Dear Reader" letters -- usually to announce a paywall -- comes this honest effort from the
Orlando Sentinel's Mark Russell.
He announces "that the move to cut [some national and world] news pages was driven by our need to reduce expenses." Still, he promises readers a renewed commitment to
"local-watchdog, explanatory and community journalism."
As Jim Romenesko
points out, though, the
Sentinel's move
is ironically opposite that of its sister paper: "The Tribune-owned paper is reducing news pages two months after the
Chicago Tribune announced that it's adding 40 more news pages a
week and said its news hole is larger than it was five years ago."
