The Age covers only some mastheads

age_nov2909.JPGI bought The Age yesterday from a 7-Eleven out of necessity.  An ad for the ANZ bank was stuck on the masthead.  I checked other copies and they were the same.   Out at one of my newsagencies later in the day I noticed that none of the mastheads were covered by the ads.  Maybe advertisers are targeting some areas with these pesky stuck on ads.   I see the growth in use of these ads and other disruptors to the traditional newspaper experience as a commentary on the value of the medium.
