I spent an hour walking around the hotel early this morning and while I could not find a newsstand, I did find evidence of home delivery. These paper delivery boxes were on the gate to an embassy nearby. I am not aware of current use of newspaper delivery boxes in Australia but they were certainly a feature in the 1980s.
The newspapers I found o the street were at ‘fast food’ street stalls where people were reading a well thumbed shared paper from the stall operator.
I visited three petrol outlets – no newspapers or magazines and two 7-Eleven outlets – no newspapers or magazines.
While none of this is hard research or even culturally relevant to Australia, it is interesting to me in the context of the moves to get newspapers and magazines into more outlets in Australia.
