The Chicago Tribune has been warned for about two weeks that its paper was going to get smaller.

Saturday it did.

One Tribune employees surmised the paper finally ran out of wider paper.

The new, smaller Chicago Tribune placed on top of Saturday's Chicago Sun-Times.

Look at what happened when I laid the Tribune on top of the Chicago Sun-Times.

I’m told no words were lost because of narrower margins.

I don’t believe this is the first time the Tribune has been downsized.
