Diverse newspaper voices reach beyond major cities in the UK

IMG_9620 (1)I love the competition between newspaper proprietors in the UK, especially the ;level of competition I have seen outside the major cities.

In the village of Lifton in Devon (4 hours from London) Wednesday night, the photo shows how I found the newspaper stand in the one and only shop in town. This stand is in the entrance to the business. Thirteen daily newspapers. Those visiting the shop are point for choice.

Leaving aside the challenges for distributors and retailers for a moment, consumers who rely on print for news and opinion benefit from such a diverse mix of voices. This is something we lack in Australia.
