We have decided to make space to fit even more news in, so we are taking news further back into the newspaper, right up to the popular eight-page puzzle pull-out.
That's 36 pages of news at the front of the newspaper alone.
Additionally, we have retained all the popular features and expanded some of them, in the pages after the puzzles.
Letters and opinion can now be found over three pages, with thanks to all those who contribute to make them a must-read section!
Just some of the places our reporters have been to get stories since last Thursday: Rockfall in Ventnor, Quay Arts, Department in Ryde, Hunnyhill Aquatics, White Hart Inn in Havenstreet, Red Lion in Freshwater, Shanklin Theatre to watch Wind in the Willows, Ventnor for the town crier's first outing, Magistrates' Court, Crown Court, County Hall, as well as here there and everywhere to cover breaking news from Coppins Bridge to Sandown seafront.
