A few changes at SN&R

Starting with this week’s SN&R, readers will notice a few changes.

All the opinion articles are grouped together. This includes letters to the editor, our Streetalk feature, the 15 Minutes interview, Jeff vonKaenel’s Greenlight column and an expanded editor’s note.

This also includes more voices from the community—local leaders, advocates and residents. This week, we’re offering a selection of several different essays on local issues.

Think of it as a front porch at home, or the water cooler at work, where people talk about what’s on their minds.

Also starting this week, there will be more coverage of the local arts scene. To make room, we will no longer be running reviews of widely released movies—information that is readily available elsewhere. We will still have stories about film, but focused on trends and the local scene.

In the coming months, you’ll also see some other tweaks to make SN&R easier to read.

What will not change is our mission or commitment to become more essential if you want to know what’s happening in Sacramento and the region.
