Another sad day for Australian newspapers

Picked up The Sydney Morning Herald on Friday and was disappointed to see the masthead of this once great newspaper partially obscured by another post-it type stuck on ad.  I feel for the editorial professionals when their advertising colleagues treat them in this way.

Bucks over content … it’s a commentary on the challenges of the print newspaper.

I understand that newspaper publishing companies are businesses and that they need to be profitable.  Chasing revenue by covering your brand does not make any sense to me, especially with a stuck on ad which readers don’t like.
