Summary

ISLAMABAD - Daily Dawn has announced it is reducing the number of pages of its Sunday magazine Eos because of financial crunch.

In an announcement, the paper said: “Unfortunately, because of cutbacks due to an ongoing financial crunch at Dawn, we have been forced to reduce the number of pages in EosS as a cost-cutting measure.”

The paper said the financial crunch “necessitated a redesign of some of the pages of the magazine to accommodate content. The current issue and subsequent issues will see Eos with a reduced number of pages and the temporary suspension of a few regular columns because of space constraints.”

The note said it is never “an easy decision to eliminate content that our diverse readers look forward to but we have endeavoured to retain as much of the flavour of the magazine as is possible in the circumstances.”

However, it expressed hope that “once the financial situation improves, we will be able to restore Eos to its original format.”

KEY POINTS:

• Dawn reduces Sunday magazine Eos pages
• Decision made due to financial constraints
• Temporary suspension of some regular columns
• Aim to retain magazine's essential content
• Hope to restore original format when financially stable
