Newspaper columns are as narrow as they are because that lets the publisher fit more stuff on a page and cut paper costs, not because narrow columns are especially easy to read.

Newspapers even go to the trouble of having special fonts designed for them (where do you think Times Roman got its name?) in order to be able to cram more type into a narrow column, thus making the effective column width greater.
