Article Abstract:
The history of US newspapers shows a trend from the 20th to the 21st centuries toward narrower sheets. The 14-inch-wide sheet became a standard in the 1980s but the 12.5-inch-wide sheet is determined by press technology, newsprint economics, and labor considerations.

Lou Silverstein's New York Times: A life's work in sections
Article Abstract:
The Sunday sections in the New York Times were emerging in new ways and the op-ed page had become a showcase for distinguished opinion with a signature conceptual illustration that was never seen in American newspapers. Newspaper sections transcended the conventional and frivolous versions not uncommon in the industry in mid-1970 and represented a major infusion of money for new content and talent, and a commitment to real journalism rather than puffery.
