Move To Tabloid
In July 1998, the newspaper rebranded itself as "the compact with impact" after going tabloid in size. According to the newspaper's proponents the move to tabloid was an immediate success, and the newspaper's circulation has grown more than 21 per cent since then. Others have argued that the paper's journalism values suffered and that the paper had become more sensationalist and less analytical as a result. As The Newcastle Herald was one of the first Australian newspapers to switch from broadsheet to tabloid, the paper is often cited as an example when other Australian newspapers are contemplating or alleged to be contemplating a similar move.

Famous quotes containing the word move:
“Youre gonna take the rap and play along. Youre gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you dont, Ill kill you. And Ill promise you one thing, it wont be quick. Ill break you first. You wont be able to answer a telephone or open a door without thinking This is it. And when it comes, it still wont be quick. And it wont be pretty.”
—Geoffrey Homes (19021977)
