Our local rag

Well, once again, the N.T.News has shown what an immature little rag it really is. Our local source of information devotes, sometimes as much as, 2/3 of a page to letters to the editor. A great public forum, where, every day people can write in expressing their concerns or simply raising issues that they feel require some public discussion and debate. In some Australian newspapers, this section takes up several pages.

Now the N.T.News has introduced a magazine section, taking up a whole page, entitled "Your Stories". Similar to sections of various glossy magazines, only not at all glossy. Their first day was devoted to 'amusing anecdotes about our cute little ones'. Their next effort, 'my brush with celebrity'. What next. One cringes at the possibilities.

This is supposed to be a NEWS paper.

Still, I strongly encourage anyone visiting the Northern Territory to buy at least one issue of our local rag the N.T. News. I'm sure you will find it quite amusing and quaint reading. Just don't expect to find any real news in it. And, besides, you just might run out of toilet paper on your camping trip.

Lift your game N.T. News. you embarrass us.
