Your Ledger-Enquirer looks different today. We have made a number of changes to the paper that are both structural and cosmetic.
First, the newspaper will be organized differently. Local news and opinion will be incorporated into the first section, and sports and business will run in the second section Tuesday through Thursday.
Monday's Major Local Companies package will move to Saturday, and Small Business will move to Friday. Friday's Army Life will move to Tuesday.
The weather map has been moved to A2, and information about lake levels, moon phases and river stages will move to the sports section. Sound Off! has moved from the opinion page to A2.
We will run an expanded index box to help you navigate the paper.
While these changes were made to address rising fuel and newsprint costs, they weren't made lightly. We pulled together a team of editors from all departments to create a more compact paper, and we believe the end result is a paper that is streamlined, better organized, and front-loaded with some of the most popular features.
No changes are planned to our core mission -- to be the best local information resource in the region, both online and in print. We just won nine Georgia Associated Press Awards for excellence, including the prestigious Freedom of Information Award, and our Web site, ledger-enquirer.com, is among the fastest growing sites in our newspaper group.
We welcome your feedback on these changes. Please call me at 706-571-8560.
