Ads Suffocate Yesterday’s Fastline

Did anyone notice that in yesterday’s Fastline that three-quarters was advertising – and the editorial had to scream & yell to be noticed around it? Reading the editorial was like trying to navigate your way through the Takapuna markets on a Sunday morning – a bloody nightmare!
I realise that advertising is the life-blood of any publication, and without it we wouldn’t have jobs… but surely the primary reason we read it is for the news – not the advertising?
