Will the printing plants in affected rural areas be sold or demolished? I feel sorry for the printing staff.

The Australian reports today that its owner News Corp has recorded a big jump in digital subscriptions, after many regional papers stopped printing over the weekend. I think itās because people living in these areas reluctantly paid for the subscriptions so they could continue to get local news.

I saw in the last edition of The Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton) on Saturday that News was offering a 2 month free trial of the digital subscription and if you paid for a 12 month subscription they gave you a free Samsung Galaxy tablet. Iām assuming these would have helped bump up subscription numbers but remains to be seen for how long.

If they are going to those lengths, wait for some drops in subscription once those periods finish.
Puts a dampener on the positive claims.

The Yandina site is a modern, well maintained site. What a waste.
Makes you wonder why the investment was put into it if the writing was on the wall years back?
Didnāt The Age do that too? Invested in that massive facility out at Tullamarine a few years back which then became redundant when they switched from broadsheet to tabloid size?

What a partisan headline in Sunday Telegraph (not to mention the insensitivity of using āscorcherā).
Of course those lefties at the ABC were up to their old trick of reporting based on the vote count
