Changes to Sentinel print editions

Dear Reader,

As a careful reader of the Orlando Sentinel, you will notice some changes to our print edition.

The biggest change is that we have shuffled our sections to focus the first section on local news and opinion coverage, as well as obituaries and classified ads.

We have also introduced a new, multitopic section that leads off with Nation & World news. That new section will be the second of three sections most days. It is also where we have moved our national and foreign stories and photos. Readers have told us they like to have Nation & World in a separate section from local news, with its own section front.

This Nation & World section will include a chapter devoted to Business coverage as well as a new chapter called Living. That’s where you find subscriber favorites like Ask Amy, Ticked Off, horoscopes, comics and puzzles.

Sports will remain a separate section.

We hope that these changes, while they may take some getting used to, offer you more consistency and predictability in the makeup and order of the newspaper.

Other items of note:

■ The weather page is on the back page of the first section each day.

■ The lottery numbers are now on page 2 of this section.

■ On Friday, Calendar remains a separate section but some content such as the TV grid or movie reviews moves into the Living chapter at the back of Nation & World.

■ On Saturday, Style & Home is merging with our Saturday Drive section to become the Home & Drive section. This will include features of the Style & Home section, plus new automobiles content and advertising from our Saturday Drive section.

■ On Sunday, the Travel & Arts section remains mostly the same. The Success personal finance pages that used to appear on Mondays and Sundays will all be found in the Business chapter of new Nation & World section on Sundays.

■ On Thursday, Cooking & Eating remains a separate section. Non-food features and puzzles can be found in the Living chapter at the back of Nation & World, including a new health page that includes the People’s Pharmacy, a feature that used to run on Monday.

We will still have the same amount of news space dedicated to our journalism. We measure that in column inches, and that total will be roughly the same versus the space traditionally set aside for advertising.

As always, we thank you for subscribing to the Orlando Sentinel.
