TORONTO — The Globe and Mail is putting more faith in algorithms as part of a newspaper redesign that’s influenced by what’s trending on its website. Stories from Sports will appear in Report on Business while Life and Arts will be folded into the News section. The changes won’t affect the number of arts and sports stories the Globe publishes, Crawley said, but it will extend deadlines to 10 p.m. “Sometimes you feel the columns are getting tired, repetitive, the columnist is doing other things and perhaps has lost a little bit of the interest in working with the Globe,” Crawley said. Right now he estimates only about 25 per cent of the stories published on the website require Globe readers to pay.
