    @jegga Well that’s that counsellor buggered. What was he thinking? Does he think that he’s talking to a child? Oh wait...

    @jegga Steph, dear, long term council employees are complete cockwombles. To everyone. That is your first political truth right there.

    The fact that this became a story, with multiple people asked if his tone or words were condescending makes me despair a bit. Then again, if that was the most controversial thing from the forum, it must have gone pretty well.

    I'm trying to ignore the look on the girl's face as I'm sure it is presented bt Stuff to look exactly like it does: condescending teenage I know everything face.

    But really? Bloke has been in the game for 40 years and you're an entitled school student?

    Why is this a story?

    @JC Yeah, they probably have some decent database resources too, like EBSCO.

    Following up the last two posts , heres the latest circulation stats. The dom post and Press have been absolutely hammered, I don't know much about the press but the dom post is a joke . I didn't actually know the Sunday news was still going tbh.
    Maybe @smudge can give some reasons why the ODT seems to be the only one not haemorrhaging readers at the same rate as the other papers?

    Quite simply, they still consider local news to be of merit. It's a point of difference because you're unlikely to find that news anywhere else (although Stuff do have a hard working reporter based in Dunedin). The have council reporters, court reporters, and cover all sorts of local sport (and racing). People still like seeing the names of people the know in the paper - even if it is in the court news...

    Do they consider hard work actually proof reading ? If that’s the case they’ve got the rest of the country beat.

    @jegga i do miss a Sunday dump without the Sunday news and their startling insights ( I’m still waiting for Filipo Levi to make his AB debut like they ‘scooped’ ) but I guess the flip side is a phone doesn’t make the same rustling sound ?

    Can’t use it when you run out of paper either.

    The ODT does have sub-editors and the stories generally havd at least have 2-3 other sets of eyes on them before they are sent to the printers but a few changes still make it to print...

    Latest circulation figures for the dom post are down 13.3% over the last year

    Hmm, I wonder why?
