    No, it looks too much like a tabloid. I would buy a magazine if I knew I was going on a bus etc. I would leave the broadsheet for some quality (yeah right) reading at home.

    It now takes up the space in my local Easons on the newspaper stand where the Guardian used to be, therefore I hate it.

    a common misconception

    ah, they do report the news... it's printed Reuter's .. :)

    It's free on the internet... And it's not worth reading when you have the choice between paying for it or paying for the Times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    But you see, the whole point behind it is that its smaller.

    I would buy the Times as paper of choice but I have bought this mini indo now a couple of times due to its size. When reading a paper on the bus or dart its a lot easier to take out this new mini indo then the broadsheet Times.

    Also the London Times can be bought in the UK in this "mini" form as such. Its becomming more common too see broadsheet papers in "mini" tabload form as so many people commute on crowded trains and busses and dont have the space to open it out.

    Its easier to read while driving too ;)

    I get it every day now, but only cos the college shop is selling it for 20c. I just get it for the crosswords - me and my friends do them during our break. I think I'm slowly getting addicted to them!

    But you can't play peek-a-boo properly from behind a tabloid on a bus!

    But we got the whole thing out today! (and before the guys as well)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,581 ✭✭✭uberwolf


    see they've changed the size to reflect the content and they appear to have changed the price to reflect it as well :D

    although it makes sense for commuting purposes.
