Independent eyes tabloid switch

The Independent is planning to publish its final (M25) edition as a tabloid. There is speculation that the move may take place as soon as the end of the month. If successful the product would go nationwide. The FT report on the same subject observes that INM "had originally hoped to launch a "European-sized" broadsheet, one that was sized between a traditional UK broadsheet and a tabloid. But printing restrictions in the UK made the endeavour too costly".
