It was a bizarre decision to start a new paper in a day and age when everyone is moving AWAY from the printed press, regardless of who is was aimed at.

I would be surprised if there were any papers within the next 7-8 years.

Who needs them? world of info at your fingertips.

Cant say I'm surprised.
It was more like a magazine than a newspaper, with articles or editorials
rather than news.
And most of these were aimed at women and Guardian readers.

Never seen anybody under 30 buy a newspaper .
Free papers handed out in city centres and the Internet as their newspapers .......the Internet has created a culture of not paying for music , films , tv and papers.

Papers are doomed.

I would probably give a new paper a chance, but just by glancing at it, there was nothing of interest for me in there.

I can remember buying the first edition of The Independent in the 1970's.  It was something ground-breaking and refreshing at the time.

I bought The Observer on Sunday as I had a train journey and it was the only decent quality paper I could practically read if the train was busy and elbow-room cramped.

It was £3.00!

sure the independent was launched late 80s wasn't it?
Report Jack Hacksaw May 5, 2016 10:35 AM BST
Yes, 80s!

Working out where I worked at the time it would have been around 1985-86.

The Guardian is £2.00 on a facking week day.  £800 a year if you buy that paper every day for a year.  Only good thing in it is the crossword which they allow you to print for free the daft tw.@ts.  With business acumen like that they deserve to go bust.  Trouble with lefties no common sense.

even the bloke on the TV advert wasn't going to buy it. Hardly a good start.

their directors have the acumen to stay offshore and thus avoid corporation tax though rob.
This saves them money so they can stay in business reporting on people & companies avoiding tax. Wink

Oh yeah, in the Observer an 8 page in-depth report into the housing market.

Involved 18 case studies - 15 of which were in London and the home counties.

Lazy and london-centric ferkers.
