Chicago Tribune Redesign

Yesterday I saw a copy of Chicago Tribune lying around. I haven't read a paper of Tribune for a while, so I decided to pick it up and flip around. Oh, it opens sideways like Sun Times! Gone are the original top down layout!
The layout has changed since when? Oh it has been like that for a couple months. Did people complain the original layout?

Why justifies the layout change? Does it cost money to redesign and get new machines to crank those out?
Don't you want to be different from Sun Times? The fact that I don't notice the layout change for a few months means I never even buy the paper in either format. Sad (old) news for the newspaper industry: nowadays people get news on the web.
