Less ads, less classies, much less editorial, why not!
Another departure from The Australian. He was always good value.
This week marks the 30th anniversary of the launch of 3 new Sunday papers in Melbourne: The Sunday Sun, The Sunday Herald and The Sunday Age all launched on 20 August 1989, replacing the Sunday Press, which closed the prior weekend and had been in print since 1973 as a joint venture between HWT and The Age.
The Sunday Herald sought to be a higher quality broadsheet than its weekday paper (and with a noticeably different masthead), while The Sunday Sun was not dissimilar to its weekday version.
When The Herald and The Sun newspapers merged in 1990, the Sunday papers remained separate for a while at least but Iâm not sure for how long.
EDIT: This article from The Age gives a detailed rundown of the lead up to the launch of the 3 Sunday papers, and the aftermath which eventually saw The Sunday Herald incorporated into The Sunday Sun

Why was The Sunday Herald a morning paper when its weekday edition was published in the afternoon?
I donât think anybody would be buying a Sunday afternoon paper. Even the Saturday afternoon paper I think had already ceased by this point

Peter Ford claiming he has something.
Edit: Ford claims he has a statement from a guy who says he was with Johns drinking on the night implying that Johns could not have been where The Sunday Telegraph claims he was.
The campaign is on behalf of the NT government and champions the merits of a move to the NT by Queenslanders.
The three-page wrap includes the front page cover and two pages dedicated to the âboundless opportunitiesâ the NT can offer Queenslanders, including details of the major infrastructure work underway to improve liveability in the region, as well as a note from NT News editor Matt Williams.
Daily Telegraph masthead in the print edition is in orange today. Nobody in my office seems to know why.
Because the should be Canberra GWS Giants are in the AFL Grand Final, of course.
It wonât be a good day for sales, Sydney, especially the audience of the Tele donât care for AFL, not even this supposed expansionist success.

Although there seemed to be a later version of todayâs Daily Telegraph front cover which featured the Bunnings underpaying scandal (with of course the use of an obvious pun - âLowest Wages Are Just The Beginningâ) among other stories with only an orange logo to support the Giants though.

The tone and attitude in the reporting towards Ten has certainly changed now that enough time has passed since Murdochâs failed attempt to get his claws into the network and Nine has become the enemy.
Ten logos feature on the front page and in the headline in reporting on the success of The Masked Singer. Poor old Seven had to pay for a double page advertisement, with the Seven logo taking up a quarter of one page, to get some attention for their tragic little celebrity dancing show.
