Even though the comic strips can now be found online, the News Corp papers provide a one-stop location for the strips to appear.
I think scrapping the comic strips will make the paper less popular especially with younger readers.
I hope Nine newspapers such as The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age can pick up some of the comic strips, Ginger Meggs in particular.
(SMH and The Age publish Wizard of Id on Monday-Saturdays, with The Sunday Telegraph in Sydney publishing the Sunday editions)
Agreed, all they are doing is reducing the overall value of the paper, before long they will cut back on the ink by reintroducing black and white pages like the old days.
You know any younger readers who actually buy a newspaper? Let alone any that are interested in comic strips.
I sometimes see young people buying The Australian and the Saturday Paper, so I can believe there is still a market for print among young people (however small). However, I would be floored if they were buying newspapers for the comics.
Bizarre final sentence about comics replaced by movies and streaming which is simply standard programming on demand.
News Corp posted a notice in today’s papers confirming it would no longer publish syndicated comics from Monday, September 12. (This one is from The Hobart Mercury)
While most cartoons that had been published in News Corp papers can now be seen on either GoComics and Comics Kingdom websites, daily strips for Aussie comics Insanity Streak and Snake Tales are much harder to find.
oof
another example of The Australian’s journalism… I don’t know if this story was a Sophie special but it’s pretty much on brand for her…
EDIT: Apparently it was Janet Albrechtsen
“Apology” from Peter Gleeson for plagiarising Josh Bravas’ work.
He’s happy to join the chorus of ABC haters but also happy to use its work 
According to Media Watch - more examples of plagiarism have been discovered and Peter Gleeson is now on “personal Leave”. Paul Barry has called for his sacking for the Courie Mail and Sky News.
Being from News Corpse I’m sure Murdoch will keep him on both so they can keep annoying ‘Channel 2’.
Makes me wonder if there is any credible journalists left.
I hate how they seem to be so stupid and not know that Fairfax is no longer. Across Fox Sports, news.com.au, even the newspapers often credit “Fairfax is reporting”.
Ugh… say no more. As always, friendlyjordies summed her up perfectly:
