One other surprise today looking at how newspapers and magazines are sold in Paris is the lack of rules. Here’s a foreign newspaper stand at one of the Presse kiosks - it’s easy to browse. The local dailies are close to the counter with the full cover viewable. Back in Australia we have all sorts of rules - how close to the front of the shop, the type of stand to use, the amount of space to give etc. Sometimes these rules get in the way of our customers. Here, with newspapers especially, it’s about easy access.
