NEW YORK After completing a two-year conversion of its 85 daily papers from 52-inch web size to 48-inch, Gannett Co. Inc. is conducting a national review for a possible second size cut to 44-inch web.

The Visalia (Calif.) Times-Delta, a 23,174-daily circulation Gannett paper, already made the cutback in August, reducing its size to the 44-inch web, and plans are in the works to make similar changes soon at The Salinas (Calif.) Californian and The Spectrum in St. George, Utah, according to Austin Ryan, vice president/production for Gannett.
