In the 'coffee-break magazine' category. 10 pages of a more-or-less proper newspaper, Of which 4 were sport. And 2 double spreads of a reasonable 'feature article' kind.<br /><br />Clean fresh look, which might wean a few off the Metro - no mean achievement if it happens, but I fear far too many are wedded to that rather naff freesheet.<br /><br />Just can't see so far, that there is a good reason for it to prosper.pete cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-87395300611579120672016-02-29T19:32:43.443+00:002016-02-29T19:32:43.443+00:00I have a subscription to The Economist because it ...I have a subscription to The Economist because it has specialist staff who know their subject matter inside out, correspondents posted throughout the world, and because the overall amount of effort put into it makes me feel the wish and need to pay.

Presumably they mean local titles feeding them. Oh dear! In Crewe that means the Chronic(le) and they haven't a clue what is happening.

Meaning it's going after the I's audience, and it'll have a fortnight to do that. And they don't have Mark Steel on board. Good luck with that.

Tried two newsagents in the bus station and neither of them had any copies.<br /><br />I asked for it and I may as well have asked for a copy of Pravda!
