When Will The Sun Be Free?

No, what they really need are more right-wing, fascist contributors.

I used to read it years ago because in tabloid form you can rest it on a table to read while you eat lunch. Too bad it's a facist rag.

I wish some of the other papers would go tabloid format so I could read them at lunch.

Please replace "publication" with "worst publication". I'm sure it was understood.

Haasim: which is precisely why I don't pick it up.

The Sun has a good Sports section. If you care. I do, so it's the only reason I would pick one up. But I don't ever buy one. If one's lying around, I'll check out the sports, but I have no inclination to read the rest.

1. The Sunshine Girl. Jesus, what year is it?
2. Letters to the editor. I love how the editor will print the letter, and then rebut or agree, depending on the psin of the paper. Um, save it for the editorial.
3. The editing. Does any daily have even CLOSE to the same amount of spelling and grammatical errors? I mean, I've seen typos in the friggin 8 point headlines. Does anyone actually proof read this rag?

Newspapers don't really make that much money from newsstands or paper box sales. They make money from selling ads. If making the paper cheaper increases circulation then there will be higher demand for ad space and they can charge more, easily making up for and far exceeding any money they might have lost in newspaper sales.

Newspapers are business enterprises run by publishers whose motives for doing so might include vanity, belief in journalistic integrity, a desire for influence freedom of the press and other romantic whatnots but in the end they mostly exist to make money. The Sun looks, feels and reads the way it does to attract a large segment of society that likes Sunshine Girls, a good sports section, to feel good about its political views and that they are the good guys. That readership attracts advertisers who want to sell those readers barbeques, domestic cars, package vacations to the Domincan Republic and so on. All papers sell to different segments of the market in the same way. If lowering the price would attract the curious and cheap to read the Sun more then it makes sense for the Sun to lower its newsstand price.

I don't care much for the Sun, but what is your problem with lower price?

Isn't it true that in the USA there are papers priced 25 cents?
