A first-day report from the upscale suburban streets of Chicago, home to the Chicago Tribune’s core readership. I went out to see what people who were reading the Monday Sept. 29 edition were saying about the shrunk-down three-section paper and the new emphasis on graphic design.

- Crain’s Chicago Business surveys readers “Trib readers say redesign lands with a thud”
- Chicago Public Radio has a podcast with Mark Fitzgerald of Editor & Publisher who says the sections need more cohesion.
