After they staked alot of resources on the Dublin Football team, their exit from the championship on Staurday must be of been the final nail in the coffin.

THe whole launch and short life of the paper is a bit of an urban legend.

Maybe 10 years down the line we'll all be in a pub saying...
"Do you remember the Dublin Daily!?"

ODD!

I bought the second issue which for some reason was on sale in my local Centra (like ppl in Waterford were interested!) and having given it my full consideration, decided it was good chip wrapper but nothing more. I can't think of the last time a new paper became properly established bar Today which had, at the time, an ace up its sleeve - fuzzy colour! Even that was a basket case for several years before the plug was pulled.

Bought it once, because it had a free dvd of all the goals from the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
I'd say the cost of all those dvds might have helped put them under.
I don't think I even bothered to read the paper when I bought it that time, only cost 50c I think too.

It was too like the Evening Hearld. But a little more magazinee. I also thought it was funny finding it Waterford as I don't think many culchies would be proud to walk out of a shop with a newspaper with dublin in the title, but then their happy to prop up all the English tabloid trash.

I think they should have gone after that market rather then the Hearld or the Indos markets. It also didn't make much of an impression. But then what do I know I think Ireland On Sunday was better when it started out now look at it the most Trashyist Irish newspaper on the market.

They invested to much in Dublin Daily how can smaller newspapers survive and local ones and a semi national one cann't. I mean do you ever read the Northside People or the Southside People which then are divide into west and east editions. And what about the other weekly free local paper. How do they survive? Advertising.

The examiner prob slagged it off about the amount of name changes it had.

The freesheets go big on advertising and small on overheads (plus they get free distribution in the shops). Most of the actual content is shared and or rehased press releases. O_o that sounds like the Indo

I'm actually surprised that in all the talking of the demise of the Dublin Daily, that they remember the last paper to collapse, the Evening News, which lasted for 3 months in 1996.

Have you seen the amount of adds in the Brits Tabloids and the Sunday World. Thus they can bring down the price of the papers.
How much is the Sunday World these days.

No, No - gone but not forgotten !!

Obviously The Evening Press is the most memorable of recent times.

BTW, Sorry for your troubles Sico

The Evening Press and The Sunday Press going of the market was down to bad management at the company, sales of either had not decreased. You were either a Press person or and Indo person to put another way you were either FF or FG.

So what do the FFers read now? The evil blueshirt paper? Some foreign paper with lots of boobies? Can I do the Yes Prime Minister "I know who reads the papers" now?


The Press was a pretty terrible paper (with some good journalists attached) - insert the word "Indo" in place of "Press" for the same effect.
