24, Metro, and Rush
What's up with all these free newspapers nowadays?
Why did all three get launched at virtually the same time? I know 24 is being produced by Sun Media, but what about Metro and Rush? I would think the Calgary Herald prints one of those two
How do they make money anyway? I can't see just advertisement dollars would be enough to keep those papers afloat. Not only that, but wouldn't the introduction of 24 hours cut into the Calgary Sun's paper sales? Obviously the Sun has way more articles and features then 24, but for someone on the run who only have about 5-10 minutes every morning, they could just pick up a free copy of 24 instead of spending $1 on the Sun
I wouldn't have started this thread, but since I work downtown, I am bombarded by these people that give away those three new papers everytime I get off the C train
