I used to enjoy the Saturday edition of The Australian and the SMH. Now I refuse to buy either but I despise the way Fairfax standards have plummeted. At least with The Oz you knew what to expect.When one thinks of the money saved there is ample to donate to websites like IA.At the Wankley Awards they gave a gong to First Dog On The Moon, the great crikey cartoon. It’s the beginning of the rise of net newspapers. As a business decision, Fairfax’s shift to the right will prove a dismal failure. |
