I have that last issue of The Herald but i think it might be a different/later edition.

I kind of miss the old Jim Gerald.
Yeah, buying the âPMâ edition of the Herald Sun just wasnât the same. Especially when the only difference between morning and afternoon editions was only the front and back 2 or 3 pages. Otherwise it was just a reprint of the morning paper. No wonder the PM edition died off soon after.

The Herald Sun was about 90% Sun and 10% Herald. The Herald was the better paper. JMO of course.
Dadâs first job was in the HWT building at 44 Flinders Street in 1959 at age 17 (he was b. Nov 1941).

I can always spot if a period piece fic set in my home city of Melbourne is written by âthe kidsâ - supposedly it is 1984 but a scene mentions a character reading the âHerald Sunâ some six years too early. Same if its a Sydney based fic and thereâs no mention of the Daily Mirror.
This applies to Melbourne radio stations that didnât exist in 1984 but can turn up in fic set then - in two cases, they were on a different band and neither used marketing names.

Telegraph TV, not a very inspired name now is it.
What would you call it?
Iâm not the one being paid to come up with a name, am I?
But I hardly think using a legacy media name and simply whacking TV on the end is a very inspired name personally.
Old media thinking still trying to survive in a modern world.

Agree, seems to be the trend to merge old brands with âTVâ. Also, seemingly wanting to confuse UK viewers by just using Telegraph?

Oh lol another cry baby journalist ! Why the duck were you working there in the first place ?
Huh? Did you read the article or just the clickbait headline? (the quote âlike a toddlerâ was in reference to his former employers not him)
Because news organisations change over time? The News Corp of two decades ago is a very different beast to the one we have today.

Still why complain when you had a good job. You take all the good along with the bad.
