Starting July 2, you may notice that the Herald-Leader is slightly narrower — by about 7/16ths of an inch. We hope you will find the paper easier to hold and carry. That’s been the reaction at other papers that have changed to this size. The size of the type in stories has not changed.
The new geometry of the page will enable us to add two comics, but we will lose some stock and mutual fund listings. If one of your holdings is no longer listed, you can access updated quotes on this Web site, where you can set up and monitor your portfolio. If that doesn’t work for you, please call Angela Allen at 859-231-3214 or 800-950-6397, ext. 3214. We will try to restore your stock or mutual fund to the daily paper. You can also e-mail her at aallen1@herald-leader.com with your thoughts about the new format.
To help us select the new comics, we are auditioning new strips on the comics page from July 2 through Sept. 8. You can see many potential new strips in the paper over those 10 weeks and starting Wednesday on this site. You can vote for your favorites online, or use the ballot in the features section. Please use the paper or online ballot to also tell us which current comics you like or loathe.
