Changes, the sequel, now on opinions page
If it’s Tuesday, it must be time for another change, or at least continued evolution of a new look and new content for The Enterprise. Starting tomorrow the Opinions page – pages on Sunday – will not only take on a new look, but will make moves toward becoming more reader interactive.
Though readers have, for some time, been able to submit letters to the editor via BeaumontEnterprise.com, they now also will have the opportunity to post comments on editorials and columns on the Web page. Plans call for some of those on-line comments to eventually make their way into the print version as well, intertwining the two Enterprise products even more.
Readers also will see more pro and con writing, offering arguments on both sides of important issues.
The editor, will, on occasion, solicit brief comments or “Snap judgments” from someone in the community on a topic. And at least once a week, we’ll be asking readers a question that we expect to fuel strong opinions on both sides.
It’s all part of a plan to do more than speak to our readers and instead engage them in a conversation. We’re hoping you’ll take the time to speak up and let us know what you think about the changes – and the opinions.

I have been confused about the changes in the Opinions page due to the huge amount of space alloted to cartoons and all the while we speak of space being premium. It just seems wierd. The cartoons are occupying nearly one quarter of the page, crowding out Readers Write which seems to be gone forever.
