Today’s Daily Telegraph was printed hours late, reportedly because of the State of Origin.
As a consequence, you have newspapers being delivered now and, likely until mid morning. From a workplace health and safety perspective this is not ideal. You have more traffic on the road now at 8am compared to 5am, plus more pedestrians as kids are off to school.
Already, newsagencies are being hit with calls from irate customers. I suspect the publishers will be, too.
Newsagents have contacted me, frustrated with poor communication from News Corp.
What a mess.
If you are a newspaper customer and reading this, please don’t be anger at your local newsagent. The lateness is 100% the fault of the newspaper publisher.
