Australian newspapers aren’t finding it as tough as many of their US and UK counterparts, John Hartigan, the chairman and chief executive of News Ltd, claimed in a speech on Wednesday. Roy Greenslade picked up on the Murdoch-owned Australian newspaper’s report that the nation’s print publications are ‘holding up well’.
But we feel he missed the best bit. As Crikey.com.au flagged up in its daily newsletter, there was something a little odd about a print headline in the paper on July 2 (helpfully highlighted here by Mumbrella.com.au – hat-tip @BlackAdder). This, courtesy of Crikey:

Oh, and you can ‘Marc the deth of newpapers with this stilish Crikey tee shiort. Avilable now fom the Crickley shop.’
I’ve already ordered my one.
Cheers,

Are you in bed with crickey? Is seems a very superficial argument to debase one person’s comment by comparing it to another person’s.
Why don’t you base an opinion from fact – as in do your own research. Otherwise you may as well say you specialise in gossip
@stumbler: it’s not an argument, it’s pointing out the irony of a typo, and I gave credit to Crikey and Mumbrella for alerting me to it.
