Weekday Newspapers have gotten extremely thin

I've only just noticed this today, Also the Indo no longer has staples

They're massively struggling for the last 10 years with all the online competition. It's pretty sad when I look at a lot of the click bait garbage online that passes for news.

Print journalism as a career I'd say is finished.

I think a good few of the newspapers though have done a good enough job at moving forward into new types of media, The Sunday world for example did a good comprehensive podcast covering the Richard Satchwell trial

€135 for yearly sub to the Irish Times. Dunno how much they cost,but if you were buying them regularly it's a hell of a lot cheaper I'd imagine.

Online is doing well in America / Australia-

The Irish news stood with us- we will never let them down-

( was in west Cork during the 80s- walked into a shop- and there was the Irish news-

It used to be. No idea if it still is. Used to love the motoring section in it. It left all the rags for dust that includes the times and the Indo for the motoring it done every week.

Half of the indo is just farming.

I bought the independent on Wednesday and was laughing at how thin and flimsy it was. Never noticed it that bad before…. Considering all that’s happening in the world / country

I haven't read one in years but I assume the classified section is gone so there's a few pages there. Who goes to the newspaper these days for jobs/deaths/second hand car etc.
