This photo shows a newspaper stand out the front of a newsagent I visited in Manchester late Friday afternoon. The Manchester Evening News is free on Thursday and Friday and paid for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. All through downtown Manchester there were bundles and bundles of the paper for people to take from as well as stands like this out the front of newsagents.
It is an interesting move. I would have thought it would confuse people – but then I have not looked at all the editions to see the differences in value.
