Version 0 of 1.

The New Zealand Herald will switch to a tabloid/compact format for its weekday issues from September.

In announcing the move, the Auckland-based broadsheet spoke of undergoing "the biggest transformation in its 150-year history".

Martin Simons, chief executive of the paper's owner, APN News & Media, said: "We've been testing the concept with our readers and had excellent feedback."

The Herald's weekend issue will remain a broadsheet.
