Sunday's four-page Viewpoint section will collapse next weekend into two pages (to be labeled Opinionated) inside the front section. The Sunday Wall Street Journal section will also disappear, along with four pages of the television guide. Through the week, more cuts will roll out — including what's left of the Daily News Business pages folding into the front section and the relatively new part two of the paper going away. There will be an explanatory note in this Sunday's Viewpoint. Here's the staff memo from recently arrived editor Carolina Garcia, with errors as I found them:

All,

Here is an outline of the changes we are making to the paper that begin on 6/22 and end on 6/29. We'll have notes to readers explaining the changes as they unfold.

Thanks all for your help in making these chagnes.

Short editorial in Viewpoint – goodbye and coming changes (Chris)

Editor's note in Sunday WSJ – last section and changes to business for the rest of the week (Melissa)

What we are running on 6/22 from Chris in Viewpoint

At the Daily News, the necessities of the current economy are prompting some much-needed reinvention in our opinion pages.

This week marks the last edition of Viewpoint, the four-page, Sunday opinion section you're reading right now. Steep increases in the price of newsprint make the continued publication of this section prohibitively expensive.

But the loss of Viewpoint has compelled us to look ahead, and make changes that a shifting readership and evolving media climate would have made necessary sooner or later anyway.

So, starting next Sunday, May 29, we will be unveiling a new, two-page opinion section. It's called Opinionated, and you will be able to find it in the back of the newspaper's front section, where the weekday opinion pages usually appear.

But Opinionated will be very different from the daily opinion page — indeed, it will be different from anything you've seen in a newspaper before. It will be all that your typical op-ed page is not — reader-driven, interactive, fast-paced, funny and aesthetically pleasing.

It will also vary from week to week. One week, Opinionated might be loaded with quick bites; the next might include a longer, more thoughtful take on a particular subject. The news will drive the format — and not the other way around.

Meanwhile, your favorite Sunday columnists will still be with us. Doug McIntyre's column will move to Wednesdays, and Bill O'Reilly's will start appearing on Fridays alongside Maureen Dowd.

It's good-bye to one era, and hello to a new one. We thank you, in advance, for your patience during this transition. And we invite you to help us along with your thoughts, your suggestions, even your criticisms.

So be on the lookout for "Opinionated" next Sunday — and enjoy.

Other days after the jump.
