The largest papers, such as the China Times, United Daily News, Central Daily News and Shin Sheng Daily News, increased their content following the lifting of the ban, moving from filling three sheets of broadsheet newsprint to six. This growth subsequently continued, so that newspapers today use ten or more sheets for a day's edition.
中時、聯合、中央、新生等幾家傳統大報，都在報禁開放首日大幅增加內容（每份從原來的 3 大張擴增至 6 大張），之後持續增長到目前的平均 5 落 10 多張。
