Nick Tessla Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 A certain local (alleged) newspaper is to increase its cover price to £1 - a rise of over 50%. Will we get more actual news stories or just more regurgitated press releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robocop Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I glance at it to see if I am still alive! Suspect they realise those who still buy it do so out of habit and if you will part with 65p you will probably still part with £1 - and it will have a free supplement with it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 What? Busses or adverts Algy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabber Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 The editors reason for price increase is lack of people advertising in the paper.Maybe i should go back to specsavers but this paper is full of adverts,the free magazine will probably have tv listings for next week,which are normally given with every weekend paper anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reader Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I stopped buying it years ago due to the lack of news. Advertising sheets should be free, Newspapers paid for. At the time there was more ink on my hands than on the paper after reading it. For a short time I did read the online version but couldn't get on with the layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peridot1 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Agree with Cleo - Do they still have obituaries? - I'm still waiting to see mine... Peridot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Tessla Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Agree with Cleo - Do they still have obituaries? - I'm still waiting to see mine... Peridot They still carry them complete with such descriptions as "wife of the late Mr Fred Bloggs....." When did the word "widow" fall out of use?

Evil Sid Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 when they started charging by the size of the column and not the amount of words n the obit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
