Lots of improvements to the paper copy of today's Times including a lot more colour (courtesy of NewsCorp's £650m new printing facilities). Most controversial is the decision to move the leader columns to page two. I really don't like it. I always thought it odd that the Times' opinion pages appeared early in the tabloid edition of the paper - in the middle of domestic news and before world news. The new format appears to correct the splitting of home news but the decoupling of leaders and opinion doesn't make much sense.
