Freesheets have taken off in a big way. I don’t think there can be any doubt about that, everyone I speak to comments on something they read in thelondonpaper or that interview in the Metro.
To my mind this can only be a good thing. No, they do not provide quality reporting, and I can’t say I enjoy reading them, but they get people reading the news and talking about it. Surely that is the role of newspapers?
