Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Better to go tabloid than go under.

Sagacious says,

Well, yeah. The broadsheet format is so damn user-unfriendly. What SMH have to do now is become price competitive with Rupert Murdoch's Daily Telegraph and they may just see their financial fortunes turn around.

Newspapers have been undergoing changes and each one makes me swear a little, and I never swear. Really, never. There is something comforting about looking at a newspaper. Reminds me of my dad at the table. And when they used to be delivered and the newspaper boy would come around to collect. I had a crush on him and would rush to the door. (when I was same age--nothing kinky implied!)

So, yeah, when newspapers make a change it stirs up a lot of emotion in this ol' heart that likes to keep emotion at bay. I'm confused though. Do you prefer something other than broadsheet (user-unfriendly), but just not tabloid?

Sagacious says,

I like the tabloid format. I've long wondered why the Herald hadn't gone tabloid before. We have two daily newspapers: The Daily Telegraph- which is Rupert Murdoch right-wing leaning sensationalist dumbed-down rag, and The Sydney Morning Herald- which is the Fairfax owned, more lefty paper. Generally speaking, the more intelligent will read the Herald, and there's more newsprint and less advertising in it. I bought it a few days ago and found it easier to read due to the tabloid format. The only negative I can see is that they've increased the price to $2, while The Telegraph remains at $1.20. It's a bummer because the Herald is a better read.

Dragonflower says,

I have been lazy for a while now. Need to start reading and thinking again. Did you have Current Events when you were in elementary school? We had it once a week and you brought in an article you read, told the class about it and then answered questions. I'm going to start doing that again. I'll be the class and the person bringing in the article, and the teacher.
