Is it any wonder newspaper circulation is declining when they resemble junkmail more and more? Who wants to pay for what often gets thrown in the bin before it ever crosses the doorstep anyway?
In the first ten pages of today's DomPost page 4 is 100 percent ads; page 5 is 50 percent; 6 is 80 percent as is 7; 8 is 100 percent; 9 is 80 percent; 10 100 percent.
Throw in the ads on the first three pages and the total advertising space is over two thirds.

I haven't brought a paper in years.
Anonymous is right.
The answer is simple - cancel your subscription and don't buy it from the newsagent. The sooner we put these tabloids-posing-as-broadsheets out of business, the better.
