In case you missed the debut of the Inquirer Express, it was on the back page of the Sports section, the only part of the Sunday Inky that we wouldn’t roll eyes at reading. Described as “the most convenient way to get your news,” the Express is like a compromise, in that it says to readers: Hey, we realize you are not going to read this bloated stack of rubbish in its entirety. Here is a 2-page supplement of Vitamin Newsprint that breaks down the articles you might actually read into concise blurbs so that you don’t have to! It even goes to prove that the entire paper can be compressed and read in 3 minutes without missing a thing. It’s like Cliffnotes, baby! Also, just a show of hands, but how many of you consider a 178-year-old paper the “most convenient way” to get your news in 2007? We needn’t say more. We just gained some extra time from consolidating our paper-shuffling and choose to spend it extracting wisdom from local message boards.
