The folks at The Standard have excellent distribution around Central if what I saw in Hong Kong this morning is anything to go by. Entrances and exits to railway stations are manned by happy teams. Take a look at the scene outside World Wide House at 7:30 this morning.
I saw fewer people handing out the Headline Daily, a Chinese title.
Both papers are more traditional newspaper like than mX back in Australia. Headline Daily is 48 pages and even though in Chinese, I get the feel it is more than fashion and pop culture. The Standard, also 48 pages, is better than many newspapers I have purchased.
