Good on you Roy Greenslade for sticking up for newsagents.
…they offer services to the public that supermarkets do not. Most importantly, in spite of the difficulties of attracting people to do it, many of them still deliver papers to your door. Most of them are also easy to reach on foot for casual buyers. Again, that’s a big plus compared to supermarkets. Finally, and I know some will disagree with me, the vast majority care about papers, ensuring that they have sufficient supplies, that they are displayed properly and that the colour magazines are inserted.
We need some Australian journalists to stick up for newsagents publicly.
