The "Taupo Times" turned up in my rural mailbox. Its good quality fire lighting paper and little else. Its now owned by STUFF, that paragon of virtue signalling. I just whipped through it to see if it actually conveyed any real news. 16 pages (sides). 1 page (not a typo) of any real news: an article on the deteriorating Chateau and another on a scam artist engineer signing off building producer statements with other peoples signature.

1 page of classifieds and 13 pages of ads. (including some self congratulatory blurbs on Stuff itself).

I imagine most other regional newspapers have lowered themselves to this pathetic standard, by sacking any journalists that actually investigated news worthy articles in their region and hiring social media influences???
