We think it may only be a matter of time before the Sunday News disappears off the
newstands.
We were wondering if we were going slightly barmy this morning, menopause does that to you periodically, as we immersed ourselves in the Sunday papers - normally we get all three , The Sunday News, Sunday Star Times and the Herald on Sunday but the HOS was not available in
Masterton this morning.
Anyway page A6 and A7 had stories and pictures of
Kirsten Dunne Powell written by Jonathan Marshall - It was on Page 3 of the Sunday News with his byline. On A6 was a story from Catherine
Woulfe on Tattoos - it appeared with the same picture and byline on page 6 of the News .
Then Leigh
Vand Der
Stoep did a yarn on
Serial Slayers on A7 and again, with her byline it appeared in the Sunday News on page 13.
This may have been happening for a while but its the first time we have noticed it and it does not bode well for competition and a better deal for readers - It also means you pay twice for the same news.
So why have two newspapers? We think that the Sunday News days are numbered....
