Tabloid format from 2018[edit]
In June 2017, Guardian Media Group (GMG) announced that The Guardian and The Observer will relaunch in tabloid format from early 2018.[152] The Guardian confirmed that the launch date for the new format will be 15 January 2018. The first tabloid format Observer will therefore appear on 21 January. GMG also signed a contract with Trinity Mirror – the publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and Sunday People – to outsource printing of The Guardian and The Observer.[153]
The format change is intended to help cut cost as it allows the paper to be printed by a wider array of presses, and outsourcing the printing to presses owned by Trinity Mirror is expected to generate millions of pounds in savings annually. The move is part of a three-year plan that includes cutting 300 jobs in an attempt to reduce losses to break even point by 2019.[152][154]
