Off Topic- Exerpt from a subsription I receive about The Age.
Canberra pollies and The Age’s Canberra bureau can’t believe The Age’s foolish decision to road, rather than air, freight copies of The Age to the nation’s capital.
The paper now arrives here well after lunch making it virtually irrevelant in national affairs. Age CEO Don Churchill’s manager and bean counter David Skelton is blamed for the short-sighted decision which has caused anger amongst the country’s power brokers. MORE: The Age is now trucked up to Canberra instead of being flown in. As a consequence, it doesn’t arrive until 11am, i.e. long after most of its readers have left for work. Not surprisingly I cancelled my order and my newsagent told me I was just one among many. Losing seven sales a week from me isn’t a big deal. Multiply it a few hundred or thousand times every week of the year in Canberra and elsewhere and it’s probably one more nail in the coffin of this sad relic of a once great paper.
