Sacramento Bee
The "new" Sacramento Bee, which debuts next week, will have daily color comics, a doubling of daily stocks listings, larger type for obits, and more coverage of local food and wine. "We're reducing the number of sections in the paper to save paper and to focus the energies of a smaller news staff," writes editor Melanie Sill. "Our focus is on quality rather than quantity." || More editor and ombud columns:
