Buying Todays News of the World?

Craig1981 · 10 Jul 2011 at 08:49

Whos going to be buying the last edition of the newspaper? I have to admit that I almost never bought it before, but I am tempted to grab a copy at lunchtime today. Will be a nice little keepsake.

I've never bought a copy in my life before, not really going to start now

fiveub · 10 Jul 2011 at 08:57

Never have done, and will not get the last copy either.

deadite66 · 10 Jul 2011 at 08:59

never have, never will.

Nix · 10 Jul 2011 at 08:59

Nope.

Murdoch can pay me before I read his trash.

I remember looking a the Notw website a few days ago, and despite being called "news of the world", it didn't seem to contain any news?

Would it?

Aren't all the proceeds going to charity?

CaptainRAVE · 10 Jul 2011 at 09:28

Never have and certainly wouldn't now.

I dunno!

I doubt it, probably only profit.
And why not just send it to a charity directly of your choice.
Why would you fold on emotional blackmail.

That's what they said. I'll still just put my £2 directly into a charity box rather than waste my time bothering to read this trash.

No one said you had to read it.

It's the last edition of a long running and popular national newspaper. It might have some historical value. might even be worth a fair few bob in the future

It'll sale in the hundreds of thousands if not millions. There is far to many copies floatingbaround to have any significance or worth. As well as certain collections/Museums will buy or get a copy anyway.

OriginalJonty · 10 Jul 2011 at 09:36

I may do but that's because I'm obsessed with news and journalism so may as well get a copy. Actually 2 as I know a guy in the US who wants one.

There will be today. But, its a newspaper. Most of those millions of copies will be wrapped around chips by tomorrow night, discarded as millions of newspapers are every day. Hence, it might be worth to buy a copy just to see if many years down the line it might be of some historical interest.

...of a highly disposable media type.
