Out With the Old, In With the Old
Today, the Star announced a few “key changes” “in response to consistent reader feedback,” and one of them is a change they should have never had to make in the first place: “Our major features and news profiles focused on Greater Toronto,” writes Publisher John Cruickshank, “will now be found in their own section, usually the second section of the paper. Most days, the Greater Toronto section will also contain the daily pages commemorating births, anniversaries, awards and graduations as well as obituaries and death notices.” Yes: like in days of yore, the Star once again has a proper, separate, dedicated Toronto section, with a new stated focus on painting “a dynamic portrait of the people and events that are driving our city and regions.” Cruickshank even chose an appropriately old-timey metaphor—”we will no longer hide our light under a bushel”—to describe the move back to the future.
