[IbroxForever]

Lovely stuff.

 

[Windsor_Blue72]

Gutter press

 

[Onslow52]

Ach well these things happen.

 

[Bknowe]

Thats a right shame so it is

 

[buzzardbear244]

Good news first thing in the morning.

 

[Langsider]

Much does a paper actually go for these days? Think the last time I bought one it was 25p

 

[bud_light]

Their income must come from online advertising as it's definitely not coming from newspaper sales

 

[Dave Angell]

Not nice to laugh at others misfortune.

Hey ho .......

 

[Thor]

Good

 

[Davieblue1977]

Good news

 

[Gheorghe_Hagi]

That attack on H&H to paint themselves as the good guys and bring us back to The Record really went well for them eh.

 

[Theblueloyal]

Drip drip, good things happens to people that wait .

 

[The Canny Man]

Tick tock, won’t be long now.

 

[Onslow52]

That attack on H&H to paint themselves as the good guys and bring us back to The Record really went well for them eh.

I take it we are still waiting on the outcome of that?

 

[scottie626]

it will soon be free like the metro?

 

[GF1872]

How many more double digit drops are needed to put them out of circulation forever?

 

[Artful Dodger]

Feel for any Bear still working there but hope it goes to the wall soon.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

I used to deliver newspapers subbied(sic) to John Menzies. The Record sold just under a million copies. My van used to be heaving and illegally overweight at the start of my shift mainly due to the bales of records.

75,000? The job must be a fucking dawdle now.

Glorious. Get it right up them.

 

[Gheorghe_Hagi]

I take it we are still waiting on the outcome of that?

A couple of slaps on the wrist at most I'd imagine.

 

[Alvor]

Blinded by bigots editing and writing stories.

 

[Blt]

Excellent

 

[BallaratBear]

Result. How did alienating a large section of your readership go? Farkin bigoted twats.

 

[Jamiegatami]

My granny had a saying about a certain group of people ruining everything they touch.

 

[Steve_french]

Long may it continue. As soon as people realise papers are opinion pieces the better

 

[remembertheepoch]

I take it we are still waiting on the outcome of that?

The were offered their jobs back if they agreed to new HR rules and specific training. Only one refused I believe

 

[Dr Steve Brule]

My granny had a saying about a certain group of people ruining everything they touch.

As did mine.

Poisoning the well, if I recall right.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

As did mine.

Poisoning the well, if I recall right.

“Shower of fucking c*nts* would be my granny’s saying.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

What will Scotland's most influential sports columnist do when he's out of a job?

 

[jexx]

Terrific news-Hopefully the doors close soon.

 

[KGR98]

They'll probably still get a lot of online hits which is how they'll make their money these days all papers will be digital only fairly soon

 

[Rooster]

MSM is on the way out. Can’t come quick enough.

 

[SuperAlly83]

The rot continues and long may it last!

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Lovely!

 

[Thomsons tackle]

Almost 200,000 people buy the daily star???!

 

[Dave Angell]

My granny had a saying about a certain group of people ruining everything they touch.

Your granny was spot on.

 

[bilkobear]

My granny had a saying about a certain group of people ruining everything they touch.

It doesn't even need said now.
Your Granny was not in any minority amidst her generation.

 

[simply_the_best]

My granny had a saying about a certain group of people ruining everything they touch.

I think they are just accelerating that demise, printed press has been on a downward spiral for years in the whole of the UK, I used to get the Record and Sun on a Saturday and the Sunday Mail and News of the world delivered every weekend, I bought the Express in the lead up to the referendum and buy the occasional Sunday Express if the wife is wanting a paper.

 

[Abacab]

Will celebrate the day Mark McGivern and Daily Record are finally consigned to history.

 

[Melanchthon]

Wonderful news - I look forward to Keech re-training as a delivery driver

 

[55 and counting]

And they say there's no good news stories.

 

[Souness86]

Probably because most people get their news online now in the digital age.

 

[FG98]

Excellent!

 

[sprally]

Last time I bought the record it was 32p
2014 I think

 

[Northampton Lodger]

I would be surprised if anybody under 60 bought a newspaper. Would be like your mother sending you a text and then writing the same message on a bit of paper and sending it first class so you got it next day.

 

[No Money No Problems]

Warms the heart.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Tick Tock,Tick Tock

 

[Carson1912]

Genuinely thought it would be more,think I know about one person that actually buys a paper and he's nearly 70

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Fewer people buy physical papers partly because many people get their news online. It's not really the death of media, more an evolution of sorts. The Daily Record will still exist online. You only need to head to the forum to see how many times people link MSM websites, or get news from them, over the course of a day. What we'll probably see in the next ten years are online-only newspapers similar to what the Independent did years and years ago.

 

[Carlton The Bear]

The were offered their jobs back if they agreed to new HR rules and specific training. Only one refused I believe

Correct. Only one balloon couldn’t manage to bring himself to trot out the standard “that’s not my current belief system now and I apologise unreservedly for my historical actions” line. Probably not even a direct employee so didn’t give a monkies chuff.

Anyways, print media is moving more online so stop clicking their links and don’t subscribe to their social media channels either. If there’s a story to be discussed here, put a link to keep us right but then extract the content to save multiple users clicking on it. Voila.
