Read it with that in mind, and judge it on whether the argument holds. Here is the argument. The typical newsagency floor was laid out for a business that no longer exists. Newspapers and magazines got the front, the window, the walk from the door to the counter, because that was what people came in for. Print bays have been shrinking for fifteen years. In most stores the space they hold has not shrunk anywhere near as fast. Now, while you may have made some changes, most I see are not enough for a bright future. Meanwhile cards, gifts, stationery, art and craft, collectables, plush and the newer categories are squeezed in around the edges. They earn their keep in poor positions, which is exactly why they are worth more space. A category performing from a bad spot is telling you something. I see this constantly. Not because newsagents are careless, but because layout changes slowly. Nobody wakes up and decides to hand prime real estate to a declining category. You take out one bay, then another, then you shuffle a fixture, and five years later the shop is a compromise between what it used to be and what it is becoming. - [Ten years.

There is plenty in them for anyone with lotteries in their shop, including one number that will get less attention than it deserves: the migration of lottery sales online has stalled, for now. The year in numbers Lotteries turnover was $6,547 million, down 3.1%. TLC had a soft year because jackpots ran cold, not because Australians stopped playing. Digital sales fell and the migration online has stalled for now, while the company's plans remain firmly digital. Retailers have been handed time and a warning in the same set of results. What we do with both is up to us. - [Does a guy or a girl make the better staff member?](https://www.newsagencyblog.com.au/2026/08/19/does-a-guy-or-a-girl-make-the-better-staff-member/) - [When you consider EFTPOS rates: who makes money off each sale you make](https://www.newsagencyblog.com.au/2026/08/20/when-you-consider-eftpos-rates-who-makes-money-off-each-sale-you-make/) - [Why a franchise model may not suit Australian newsagencies in 2026](https://www.newsagencyblog.com.au/2026/08/18/why-a-franchise-model-may-not-suit-australian-newsagencies-in-2026/) - [Stop!

In that time I have seen the best of this channel and plenty of the worst, and I understand why some newsagents feel stuck. The categories we were built on are in decline. Papers, magazines, lottery.

Prepare before you knock](https://www.newsagencyblog.com.au/2026/08/12/asking-your-landlord-for-a-rent-reduction-prepare-before-you-knock/) - Asking a landlord for a rent reduction is a reasonable thing to do. Rent is one of the biggest costs in any retail newsagency, and when circumstances change it makes sense to talk. But how you ask matters as much as what you ask for. The first question is a hard one, and you ask Asking for a rent reduction is reasonable, but preparation decides the outcome.
