It approaches… the end of the SMH as we know it!!

Fairfax newspapers have decreed that the era of the ‘broadsheet’ newspaper is over. Soon all the remaining broadsheets will be converted to tabloid format… or be closed down.

Personally I far and away prefer to broadsheet format to tabloid. That extra area of newsprint is so much better for presentation of serious news. Ok there are times when the sheer quantity of print can overwhelm the senses but then there is also the opportunity for a much greater area of page available for photos… much better.

And of course there are the other benefits. For example, it’s so much easier for us larger lads to hide behind a broadsheet. With our greater area we *need* that extra acreage of newspaper :)

I say abandon this insane idea and return to the old established format that has served us well these past 100 years! :D


Stumble it!

    Aha… sorry SMH = Sydney Morning Herald. It’s a bit like the Sunday Times only not quite as right wing. Have a look at http://smh.com.au
