Newsagents and others involved in newspaper distribution in South Australia are hearing reports that the Adelaide Advertiser will cease its print edition on one or more days of the week in response the financial return on those days.
One source is reportedly a representative Advertiser Newspapers who has spoken with newsagents.
While I expect such a move to happen, not only in Adelaide but elsewhere in Australia where the economics demand, I note we have heard this report previously and News Corp. denied it previously. I mention it today as the report is fresh from this week and I thought people would like to know.
My understanding is the above is factually incorrect. Someone must have it diarised for regular recycling.
Hi. Stephen Browning from News Corp Australia corporate affairs team here. I can categorically state that this rumour is completely untrue.
Thanks for this Stephen.
Stephen,
It always good when a supplier comes out and kills a rumor – Thanks
John
I heard that The Advertiser have already ceased working 2 days a week, and “make up” the news ahead of time for those days.
or was it that they only work 2 days, and make up 5 .. . . ?
