In 1966, the front page ad to move on the other side and print a news stories
on the front page, today's newspaper have been outline in the composition.
Murdoch soon began making his mark on the paper, replacing its editor, William
Rees-Mogg, with Harold Evans in 1981. One of his most important changes
was the introduction of new technology and efficiency measures. In March–
May 1982, following agreement with print unions, the hot-metal Linotype
printing process used to print The Times since the 19th century was phased out
and replaced by computer input and photo-composition.
This allowed print room staff at The Times and The Sunday Times to be
reduced by half. However, direct input of text by journalists ("single stroke"
input) was still not achieved, and this was to remain an interim measure until
the Wapping dispute of 1986, when The Times moved from New Printing
House Square in Gray's Inn Road (near Fleet Street) to new offices in
Wapping.
The Times features news for the first half of the paper with the leading
articles on the second page, the Opinion/Comment section begins
after the first news section, the world news normally follows this. The
business pages begin on the centre spread, and are followed by The
Register, containing obituaries, Court & Social section, and related
material. The sport section is at the end of the main paper.
