Money more important than safety at The Age

age_feb082010.JPGThe Age had an excellent special liftout today with safety tips for young drivers.  Part of the promotional material for this special report on the front page of the newspaper was covered up this morning by another post-it type note – this time for ING Direct.  What is the point of a masthead or front page editorial promotional material if you’re prepared to take money to cover this up?

    An even bigger mess was the Fourex sticker on the Financial Review. With one half of the sticker on the edge of the paper and the other half dangling. Very sloppy and somewhat degrading to the Journal.

    is there going to be a pst every time an advertising post-it is on the cover of a newspaper.

    i agree it doesnt look good.

    what about the double charging of the sunday telegraph in nsw which will not be credited till next week.

    makes me think it was an intentional mistake, otherwise news ltd would have reversed it in the same billng cycle.

    and with more and more newsagents on direct debit payments, there is nothing we can do about it.,
