the news accurately, to bring clarity to complex issues and to serve as a watchdog for justice and fairness for all.

Look what’s coming.

Announcing a better InquirerWelcome To ANew Inquirer

Starting tomorrow, you’ll see a lot of

improvements to your Inquirer.

We’re improving the first section of

the paper with a sharper focus on poli-

tics, health care, education and other

critical issues, and

enhancing our

Local News sec-

tions. You’ll discov-

er new themes for

the Business sec-

tion Monday

through Friday.

You’ll find our columnists popping up in

new places. You’ll see a fresh look to our

sections and more local reporting. You’ll

find us closing

the gap

between the

Web and print

by putting in

the paper

coverage that

has until now

only been

available

online, while enhancing our online

offerings as well.

And you’ll still get the same compre-

hensive coverage of the nation and the

world, of sports, entertainment, food,

lifestyles, and health, that you’ve come to

expect from your Inquirer.

What you won’t see is any change in

our commitment to journalism and in the

convenience of home delivery.

Changes Right Up FrontTurn past the front page and you’ll

notice something new right off the bat.

Page A2, for example, will be called

“InSights.” You won’t want to start your

day without it. Here

you’ll find columns

by Trudy Rubin,

Karen Heller and

other writers you’ve

come to know. And

there’ll be a daily

feature,

“InTheKnow,”

spotlighting how we

live, today’s trends,

and insight into

hot topics.

A3 will continue this sharp focus on

news you’ll want to read every day.

Each day will have a different theme –

Politics, Health and the Economy among

them. This will come

through both our own

news stories and

excerpts from our many

staff blogs, many of

which have only been

available online until

now. It’s our way to dis-

till the best of both

news worlds and save

you time. Two days a week the emphasis

will be on Politics, letting you know

what’s really going on

in City Hall,

Harrisburg, Trenton,

and Washington.

More LocalNews

We’re reorganiz-

ing our staff to better

cover the local news

– especially in the

Pennsylvania suburbs. The goal is to

offer more stories about the people,

places, and issues nearest to where you

live. In addition to generating more in-

depth coverage,

we will also be

creating more

news blogs from

the suburban

counties as well

as South Jersey,

so that readers

have additional

ways to get

breaking news

and interact with our reporters.

ANew Business SectionThe world of Business has become

deeper and more varied than ever. So is

our new Business section.

Look for a theme to the Business

section every day

Monday through Friday.

One day it’s Consumer

Tech; another it’s Small

Business. Other days will

focus on Personal

Investment, Autos, and

Real Estate. But whatev-

er’s happening that day

in business locally,

nationally, and globally

will still be found here as well.

The World InYour Hands

All these changes won’t mean

you won’t get a serious dose of

national and international news

as well. Every day you’ll get sto-

ries from across the United

States and the world, starting

with a full page in the front sec-

tion. And labeling will make it even easier

for you to find these stories.

ABright New LookEach section front will have a cleaner,

more modern design that will also make

it easier to read about the top stories

found inside that section, instead of hav-

ing to look for indexes scattered around

the page.

The ThingsThat Won’tChange

With all these

changes, what will

stay the same?

For one thing,

the commitment to

the sort of journal-

ism you expect from The Inquirer – hard-

hitting, investigative, explanatory,

topical, authoritative stories –

remains unwavering. The Inquirer

will continue to be the watchdog

you can trust. We’ll keep giving

the deep reporting and experi-

enced analysis that wouldn’t exist

in Philadelphia if we weren’t

around.

If you opt for home delivery,

you'll enjoy all these changes –

and more to come – with even greater

convenience.

So welcome to your new Inquirer.

We’re changing to serve you better.

Enjoy.
