The paper switched from broadsheet quarter fold to tabloid in August, 2014. In September, 2021, the paper switched from tabloid to 8.5x11" in order to focus on rebranding the Sil in an accessible format. [1] Among the student population at McMaster, the paper is known as the Sil.
Currently, the paper has shifted its focus to a heavier online presence in order to become more accessible and grow with the ever-changing media landscape.
