Its The New Day !

[mikey4444]

Anybody tried the new newspaper from the Mirror Group,"The New Day " ?

http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2016/feb/22/its-the-new-day-first-look-at-trinity-mirrors-new-newspaper

Its free today, so I thought it was worth a go. Brighter than the Mirror, printed on white paper, not light grey, not as rabid as the Sun, more serious than the Express ( but what isn't ) and its not Tory like the DM. Its not too bad although I can't see it ever replacing my Guardian.

I suppose it will sell reasonably well to some people, although it didn't have enough C list celebrity gossip and not nearly enough sport ( only 2 pages ! ) to appeal to those that want something not too challenging to read in the lunch break on the building site.

The i paper is still the best in this sector of the market though.

Will I pay good money for it tomorrow ? ......I don't think so.

bazwillrun, don't believe him! He's a closet Conservative - and a snob to boot! ;o

Wow, just how patronising is ^^ that?

You're all jealous because mikey's a Guardian reading intellectual. (;o))

[Jackdaw33]

That's an oxymoron.

[Svejk]

We all know that, jd. (except maybe the 2x4's that read it)

It matters not one iota whether or not you used the word, 'common' besides it is not a derogative word to use in this case.

I know mikey doesn't like to use the word but he is a 'common' left-wing labour supporter. :0)

Where is the paper pitched? Not politically, but market segment. Is it a left leaning Daily Mail, or is it going after The Guardian / Independent market?

to appeal to those that want something not too challenging to read in the lunch break on the building site.


lol ... that's me that is!



But if I want to read something during my break that's not too challenging ... I read what mikey has posted on AB. ;0)

I thought this was quite a good offering. I like the way they present topics and give opposing views. I averted my gaze from the sickly blurb on the inside cover though ...

[Hopkirk]

I think the Independent has it right here, there's no future in paper editions.

[agchristie]

Well, tomorrow is another day but once some initial curiosity dies down and the 50p price kicks in, I reckon that there will be plenty of recycling material.

[ichkeria]

"I think the Independent has it right here, there's no future in paper editions. "

There was plainly no future for the Indie as a paper, but paper editions will be with us for years to some. The Indie was just a bit .. dull really and couldn't compete with the other quality papers

[mikey4444]

SP...." a left leaning Daily Mail" ?

Even the most rudimentary perusal of this new newspaper would instantly give you the answer to your question. Can I presume that you didn't avail yourself of todays free copy ?

Ichkeria....alas you may be right there....just too dull !

it's a masturbatory synonym of tankers and full of dross that may have attracted the London Rubber Co to invest, the only thing needed in the average household a mass of paper-tissue to wipe the mess up.
