Welcome to Best of the Week, kicked off on board flight VA1292 out of steamy Cairns and wrapped up this morning back in chilly Evandale, Tasmania.

Today: The publishing industry finds a collective path; and another month of horrible adspend numbers suggests we’re yet to find bottom.

Happy Naked Gardening Day.
