Evolution of The TimesInthelate1990s,theweekdayeditionsofThe Times began to include a new daily supplement: Times2. The “T2” supplement contained feature articles,ratherthanregularnews.Otherweeklysupplements were introduced in this period as well,including“BricksandMortar”(property),“TheGame”(football),andvariousSaturdaysupplements(includingthemagazineandSaturdayReview).
The Times also expanded the page count of individual issues in this period, adding more and more content to the main section. In 2004, it switched from broadsheet to tabloid format, shrinking the shape of the newspaper, but increasing the number of pages: a smaller newspaper, but larger issues.
