Also take note that it is easier to read text in smaller columns
The why are featured pieces at the top of the front page wide? NYC public schools taught me how to fold the NY Times vertically so I could read down the columns while holding onto a subway hang strap and then flip it to continue, albeit the NY Times may be the only US newspaper that technique works with. That's the ONLY time narrow columns are easy to read, unless your attention has a deficit and you lose track of your place on the line... The reason the columns are narrow is to allow for easier placement of advertising... the reason newspapers exist at all. RR
