Loved it - but disappointed by changes

To me, the Espresso was the greatest news innovation. Reading it every single morning became a favorite ritual and I loved every bit of it (the short news snippets, the selection of stories, the Saturday version with a focus on culture and entertainment, etc) and also most of the early changes (moving the snippets to the front, introducing longer form stories and profiles, removing the indices, etc) BUT I found one thing utterly disappointing: you switched to updating individual stories at (what seems to me) random intervals rather than all of them at the same time every morning. Since then, I’ve stopped reading the Espresso daily and even abandoned it entirely for other (local) newspapers.
