Bob Arctor redesigns 'the' Post

So many SICS:

Make it a pulp magazine, like the Nation, or TV inserts. Capitol Newspapers has the resources to do this. The copies would have a much larger pass-along readership. The Post would become a new and unique critter in the local racks.

That size is held closer to read and the type could be in 9 point with denser columns. Think Maximum Rock n Roll.
Not the worst idea we've heard, but you'd think a veteran gonzo journalist like Bob would realize it's about allocation, rather than raw resources. "Capitol" Newspapers Lee Enterprises has the resources to buy itself a reputable student newspaper, should it so desire [prickly non-profit corp status notwithstanding]. We'll make the case for that next week.
