Appreciation: Appreciation

Erik Wemple: Everyone knows big changes are afoot in Style and its thematic cousins at the Post. A new co-managing editor, Raju Narisetti, was recently hired to oversee these fiefdoms—Style, Weekend, Washington Post Magazine, etc. (Narisetti did not respond to interview requests for this item.) There's no telling what Style will look like after Narisetti is finished with it.

But why start out with Appreciations? Is that where new management wants to make a statement?

If so, here's what's at stake: Will the paper be smaller yet still distinctive, or smaller and just like every other paper?
