This comms was just sent to newsagents:
Dear Newsagent/Retailer,
Our Saturday and Sunday newspapers will contain significant news coverage related to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
In anticipation of increased reader interest, we have increased your supply for these editions.
Our regular weekend magazine inserts are printed several days before the newspaper is printed. This means that for this weekend only, we don’t have enough magazines to cover the increased newspaper supply.
You may find that this impacts your own supplies. If so, please let your customers and staff know, and convey our apologies.
And to minimise any possible delay in arrival times, additional delivery vehicles have been added.
If you have any concerns on this matter, please don’t hesitate to contact News Retail Support, your Area Logistics Manager or Area Sales Manager to discuss further.
Kind Regards,
News Corp Australia
And later today after emailing them I got this from Nine:
QUEEN ELIZABETH II SPECIAL EDITIONS – SATURDAY. Retail supplies will be increased for special editions of The Age and Financial Review on Saturday 10th September. Because of the late changes some country and metro AGE copies may be delivered without the Good Weekend magazine and on Sunday some copies will be without Sunday Life.
