Newspaper covers Matthew Richardson photo on the front page

age_nov1409.JPGRetiring Richmond footballer Matthew Richardson was covered up on the front page of The Age newspaper today with an ad for milk home delivery stuck over his photo.  This demonstrates that ads are more important than news on page one at The Age.  The ad itself is interesting for newsagents – milk home delivery being promoted on the front page of a newspaper.  If the penetration of milk delivery increases as it has been recently, watch for the two home delivery services to be linked.
