Daily Telegraph for grabs

Soap Box
Posted by: Samiuela LV Taufa on August 25, 2008 11:58:49 AM

Rail travellers are used to private papers hawking themselves for FREE espousing some agenda (I don’t know because I don’t read it often enough) providing quick, short term entertainment and presumably paid by advertisers.

This morning we were greeted at the gate to Bankstown Rail by a hawker giving away free Daily Telegraph rags, wow. Everyone at the station seemed to have a copy, whilst other stations didn’t have travellers getting on loaded down with the paper.

Kudos to the Telegraph for trying to get their message out. There used to be a reason when the regular print press would give away free copies, but this time around I’m mystified.

Of course, my dad religiously buys the paper so they’ve wrung their litre of blood from our family.

Dad’s rugby fanaticism hasn’t spilled over to buying the “the official” paper for the NSW Rugby Team – Waratahs (one of the sponsors being the Sydney Morning Herald www.smh.com.au)
