  How we got the measure of a Berliner | Newsroom | Guardian Unlimited   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Berliner format has been around a long time, one of the three in continental Europe when vast rotary presses were built for printing newspapers be fore the first world war.
Berlin was the home of the German Standards Committee which established the paper sizes we use now - A4 and so on.
Because Berliners - that is, the people of Berlin - read on buses, they have become experts in folding their broadsheets to read a few columns at a time.

All the aforementioned are owned by The Scott Trust, a charitable foundation which aims to ensure the newspaper's editorial independence in perpetuity, maintaining its financial health to ensure it does not become vulnerable to take over by for-profit media groups, and the serious compromise of editorial independence that this often brings.
The newspaper also gained readers in the United States where there were few "anti-war" rivals.
This was because prior to the Guardian's move, no printing presses in the UK could produce newspapers in the Berliner format.

Today The Guardian is the only British national newspaper to publish in full-colour (though not in Northern Ireland); it is also the first newspaper in the UK to be printed on the Berliner size.
Though the main news section was in the large broadsheet format, the supplements were all in the half-sized tabloid format, with the exception of the glossy Weekend section which was a 290×245mm magazine and The Guide which was in a small 225×145mm format.
With the change of the main section to the Berliner format, the specialist sections are now printed as Berliner, as is a now-daily Sports section, but G2 has moved to a "magazine-sized" demi-Berliner format.

 Ex-Spy Death May be Linked to Nuclear Smuggling
BERLIN, Germany (RIA Novosti) -- German investigators are considering the possibility that polonium-210 was smuggled through the country and might be connected to the radioactive poisoning of a Russian security service defector in London.
In Russia, Kovtun is being treated as a witness in the case of Litvinenko, an FSB defector and outspoken Kremlin critic with ties to exiled Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky.
Berliner Zeitung quoted experts among German law enforcement officials as estimating that the dose of polonium-210 believed to have caused Litvinenko's death was worth about $25 million.

Newspaper industry officials believe that the Journal and Courier became the first in North America to publish in the more compact Berliner format when it rolled off the presses late Sunday night.

 S. Berliner, III's Berliner Page
When Friedrich der Grosser moved the capital of Prussia from Potsdam to Berlin in 1701, the family had to move with the court to keep its custom, becoming the court tailors of Berlin (die Berliner Hofschneidern) and the name stuck (that was when the use of family names was becoming commonplace).
A Berliner is a sort of flattened, jelly-filled doughnut, which apparently originated in Berlin; JFK cracked up the Berliners in his famous speech because he said, in effect, "I am a doughnut"*.
Berliners are also a type of handcuff, a "famous escape cuff from yesteryear", made in Berlin and seen in many Houdini-era escape show posters, and now reproduced.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Germany's cartel office has approved the takeover of newspaper publisher Berliner Verlag by a consortium of foreign investors, paving the way for a German daily to fall into foreign hands for the first time.
Berliner Verlag, publisher of the Berliner Zeitung as well as a few other papers and magazines, is being bought by Mecom -- an investment vehicle of former Mirror Group chairman David Montgomery -- and a U.S. equity firm.
German publishing group Holtzbrinck, which is selling Berliner Verlag, has defended itself, despite the fact that Montgomery has refused to rule out cutting jobs.

The Guardian's ownership by the Scott Trust is likely a factor in it being the only British national daily to conduct (since 2003) an annual social, ethical and environmental audit in which it examines, under the scrutiny of an independent external auditor, its own behaviour as a company.
The advantage that The Guardian sees in the Berliner format is that though it is only a little wider than a tabloid, and is thus equally easy to read on public transport, its greater height gives more flexibility in page design.
On Friday 9 September 2005 the newspaper unveiled its new look front page [12], which débuted on Monday 12 September 2005.

 To Stand Out, a British Daily Gets Just a Little Smaller - New York Times
The Guardian is a direct competitor of his own newspaper, which followed the general trend in Britain and became a tabloid not so long ago.
A Berliner, in newspaper terms, means a Continental-style paper, along the lines of Le Monde in France, which folds in half like a broadsheet but opens up like a tabloid.
Some 11 daily national newspapers fight it out on the newsstands every day, often peddling their wares like gaudy streetwalkers, luring readers in with discounts, contests, prizes, giveaways, tie-ins to consumer products, huge stories about diet and fashion and splashy "exclusive" headlines about louche celebrity behavior.
