The sooner all papers go under the better. Intent on ruining lives for a few quid.
correct,the amount of posters on here that slate the media and the next thing you see is a link to their on line stories WTFCorrect. 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.
I'd love to see one of the papers go back to just reporting news, no agendas, no lies and bs, no appealing to the lowest common denominator and see how it impacted their salesWarms the heart.
Absolutely pennies in comparison to advertising rates generated from conventional print.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
The worry there is that they become even more desperate in their search for website views that they up the ante in terms of clickbait and shock stories. The best weapon in our arsenal is not giving them any hits at all but unfortunately we still see their stories shared on here with depressing frequency.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.
You’re absolutely right and it does not take much to copy and paste the text rather than provide a link.The worry there is that they become even more desperate in their search for website views that they up the ante in terms of clickbait and shock stories.

Agreed but (at least in my opinion) the best approach is to just give them a swerve altogether. There's no information the Record is privy to that we can't get from better sources - we certainly never get "news" from them. All we're left with in that case is nonsense rumours and even worse opinion pieces from some of the worst hacks in the business.You’re absolutely right and it does not take much to copy and paste the text rather than provide a link.
As long as you credit the newspaper as being the source of the story, then there is nothing to prevent it being reproduced online in a different format.

I was in the dentist the other day and they never had any papers or magazines out for reading.At this point its surely just hairdressers, dentists and van drivers who have always just had a habit of picking one up at the garage in the morning that are still buying them. The sunday papers people probably just feel bad for the kid thats delivering them!

And Heart and Hand sub numbers increased. KarmaIf my math is accurate, Daily Record was down around 3% in 2021 through August. Went after H&H at the beginning of September and down an additional 8% from September to December.
Might be coincidence, but I hope not.
They need just the one van now, but it covers some milesI 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.
