They have no printing cost, next to no distribution cost and the difference in price was not that much. They were looking to make a massive increase in margins from the online version. wotz (335)
1345034 2013-06-16 07:37:00 When I was a delivery person for the Southland times I remember being told that a newspaper is a life line with the outside world for older people. They tend to get upset when their paper is not delivered. Many older people are not computer literate and therefore would not have access to the Internet to view an online newspaper. Bobh (5192)

My mum is 87 and she cancelled the subscription to our local paper as she never read it.
My Dad read it from cover to cover.

She watches tv all day and tv3 news.
She has a computer, but gave up the net, as she did not want to learn it.
