As many regular readers have noticed, the first edition of the Prince George Citizen's new Arts and Entertainment section debuted last Friday.
While many of our readers appreciated the new section, a few have called us wondering why we have made the switch from providing the television listings from a smaller "tabloid" format, to the larger "broadsheet" format like the rest of the newspaper.
The Citizen appreciates the phone calls and feedback on the change. While many readers understand it was a financial decision, the Citizen also understands their concerns that the paper had not done a sufficient job of communicating this information to them.
As the only remaining source of comprehensive TV listings in our region, the paper is constantly challenged to continue providing this service as fewer and fewer readers rely on it, commonly because digital cable technology provides a convenient alternative.
Including TV listings as a part of our new and expanded Arts and Entertainment section allows us to continue to provide this valuable service to those readers who still rely on us for it even though the format is larger.
As we continue to meet the changing needs of our readers and advertisers, we welcome your feedback and hope that our new Arts and Entertainment section helps to keep you informed about what is happening locally and around the world and what's on TV.
