The future of newspapers perhaps? Hyper-local, super-relevant, same-day production and controlled circ - no wastage, minimal distribution costs. Lovely read, as always.

Withdrawal!!! Two months is a long time to be going without. Me cryin a river now too and checking every day for the next posting!!!

That sound you wondered whether anyone heard is the thud of unsold newpapers being dumped at the recycling centre. Or is it the rustle of junk mail flapping down the street in a westerly? Newspapers can survive a bit longer yet in New Zealand, but only if they drill deeper and become relevant to their communities again.
