The Arizona Republic has changed its Monday editions to make it more fast and friendly. The new version includes more alternative story forms.

The comments here reflect that this sort of thing is still in the experimental stages. Some of it works; some of it doesn't. But I do like this gamble on the editorial page. Unlike the dull pontificating in most newspapers, the Republic offers its views as a list. This is much more engaging than what I see in my daily paper, The News & Observer.

This and previous posts on alternative story forms are available here.
