I’m writing this rant on behalf of my fellow Analogue Dinosaurs out there. Today, the Australian Open tennis tournament has kicked off in Melbourne. Now, a certain News Limited paper in Sydney is urging its readers to “download today; scan the QR code for your draw poster”.
It used to print the Australian Open singles draws – men’s and women’s – in centerfold of its print edition, but no longer. This is excluding all the non-digital generations who don’t have access to computer / mobile phone / printer / WHATEVER.
What about all those people who pay their hard-earned money to have the print edition delivered to their homes? This is gross negligence… this is so UN-AUSTRALIAN!
“Just print the bloody draw poster in the paper, will you?!”
