<p>I can't think of any. The Sunday papers in NZ were the last hold outs of decent standards for a while but they lost it a few years back. </p> -
I think the mail was at the forefront of the vaccines cause autism bullshit in the late 90s they also got caught plagiarising an article off cracked last year. <br>
I'm not sure if papers were ever that wonderful to start with but they haven't handled the threat of the internet very well , having said that I'm not sure what else they could have done when they suffered a huge loss of income through advertising .<br>
I stopped buying them years ago , if I pick one up now I'm usually quite surprised how far behind the international news section is and how often they tell half the story. Case in point is the crims in Aussie, apparently one of the deportees was Keys bodyguard in Afghanistan and is a war hero etc etcetc. Recent photos show him with a gang tattoo around his throat and he's a gang associate at a time when the Aussies are trying to crack down on them with some fairly over top laws. I'm struggling to understand why I should feel sorry for him. -

The sst is only good got lining a budgies cage now. I saw the other day the herald has had 52 articles featuring max key in the past year, probably double that for Millie Holmes and Lorde.

<p>You might not like her music but it's pretty unfair to put her in the same category as Max Key and Millie Holmes.</p>

Yep, I've heard comment recently that circulation is up for (some? most?) magazines. I suppose it's the appeal of a more in depth read. -

<p>Its the papers obsession with them that they have in common, also its not Lordes music that I can't stand. I suspect she has the political leanings of a young Eleanor Catton and I'm surprised she hasn't shared them with us yet.</p>

<p>Yeah,a lot of magazines seem to have taken to the web a bit better than most papers.
