The stacks of free newspapers in Qantas Clubs used to be taken quickly with often none left by mid morning. Over the last year I have noticed more left through the day. Then, yesterday, I noticed in Sydney that early in the evening they had a stack of newspapers placed near the escalator – as you head to your plane. This is a new move, suggesting a challenge to give away all the free newspapers they are allocated.
This is no surprise to those who have migrated to accessing news through their phone or some other mobile device. Paper based news is old and the medium redundant.
Newspapers must reallly be on the decline.
This morning on my way to work I seen a homeless man asleep on a park bench with an I-Pad covering his face……….
In European airports, the newspapers are placed on a stand just outside the door of the plane as you board. It’s a giant mess when you are trying to go past people browsing the selection and taking their sweet time.
Allan I think you might find it was a sleeping tablet

You guys are in the wrong game. I think you should be standup comics.
