The Geelong Advertiser has joined the ranks of newspapers allowing news on the front page of the newspaper to be covered up by a stuck on ad. Even if it is for a promotion connected with the beloved Geelong Football Club, it damages the newspaper.
I know publishers do this for the ad revenue.  This is a short term view since newspapers will only attract ads if they sell and they will only sell if readers trust the product. I suggest that trust is challenges by covering up news with stuck on ads.
Thanks Andrew for the photo.
Well when the front cover is a surfing story is the editorial content really suffering? Two Bronco stories in consecutive days on the front of T’he Courier Mail’, sigh.
Petty.
Repitition of this theme discounts the real worth of an otherwise valuable blog.
No worries, you’re entitled to your view. I disagree. The posts here of trashed newspaper front pages will be useful one day.
I understand your concerns Mark, but let’s not overestimate the blog. It is not – after all – the Smithsonian Institute 🙂
