The intelectual quotient of this paper is already down to tabloid level, format will only help it sell more for what it's really become. Sure, go for it.

Some stories, you won't understand why they're important or newsworthy without a necessary minimum of background explanations, and they take the column inches they have to take. On the other hand, reports about Paris Hilton or Britney Spears should be kept to 100 words and used as filler on the classified pages. "Should stories be shorter?" is kind of a silly question.
