News Corp scales Manly Daily back to two editions per week
News Corp will scale back the frequency of The Manly Daily from next month, with editions to run just on Wednesday and Saturday.
Described as a “bold new direction” for the community title, The Manly Daily will now be broken into two editions, which will be complemented by online and mobile offerings.
The changes are effective from January 10
There goes my paper mache habit.
BOLD
One of the last great training grounds for the tabloid hopefuls. Many News greats did time there. I did 2 days there as a job interview three decades ago. Front page and P3 leads both days. Didn’t get the job. That’s how competitive it was for jobs on the Manly Daily.
Surely the title needs to be changed to the Manly Bi-Weekly
The Manly Daily is awful these days. It goes straight into my compost bin.
Where will bored older folk now moan about how hard they have it living on the northern beaches?
Hopefully you will not grow old and so will definitely not be bored. You would most likely be one of those live for today types who does not care about anybody else.
Gees, surely you can have a different view without hoping for death to the other. That isn’t caring about others, is it?
Good news – the mountain of unread Manly Daily’s that I have to throw out each week will be slightly smaller. I’ve been trying to cancel it for a year, but haven’t figured out how.

“Gold to Dereliction”
They can’t get walkers now at $70 a week. Kids can mow 1 lawn for $70.
What person would be interested in delivering heavy papers for less than half that?
The Manly Daily is now a second-rate paper. I have noticed that fewer people have died since the paper has gone smaller and only 2 days per week. I have also noticed that there are more ads than previously (unless 5 days of ads are compressed into 2 days),
There are fewer ads for ‘Positions Vacant’ but there appears to be more ads for ‘Adult Services (prostituion).
This does show the doubtful standards of the owners of this masthead..
Such a pity. This used to be a great paper – now it is suitable only to line the garbage bin.
