The redesign of the Levittown, PA-based 'Bucks County Courier Times' was one of four moves adapted by the paper in order to check sliding circulation. The redesign, which met initial resistance from the publisher, included increasing the number of stories, better promotions and a new layout that would increase the paper's geographical reach but not its required staffing. The other steps that successfully addressed the circulation issue included additional pages, advertising and reporter reassignments.
