I haven't read the Spec in a while but these changes seem disappointing. I'm surprised at the short story format, it's as if they're 'dumbing it down' - presumably because they feel the readership has neither the time not inclination (nor intelligence?) to read comprehensive coverage...?

I read the Toronto Star now and I have to say this is a MUCH better read that the Spec. Having an articulate thought provoking paper in your town really does make a huge difference. Even with Rosie DiManno - whose opinions are as distant from mine as Drescels - the paper has a good balance (Chris Hume, Joe Fiorito etc) and a fair amount of depth and variety to it's coverage.

It's nice to read a paper that both informs you and makes you think.

Cheers
