ffs who even reads newspapers anymore? just another boomer nostalgia circlejerk

Blake Turner2026-07-20T18:51:50.000Z

nah you're just too young to appreciate local journalism

Hayden Kelly2026-07-20T19:18:50.000Z

oi I read it every Friday! better than the rubbish on stuff.co.nz

Luca Reid2026-07-20T19:33:50.000Z

get over yourself mate, it's local news not some conspiracy theory page

Blake Turner2026-07-20T19:07:50.000Z

Actually still good for local notices and court stuff. Not everything needs to be on a screen.

had a letter to the editor published in the Mail back in '98. still got the clipping 😎

Hayden Kelly2026-07-20T19:32:50.000Z

bet the editor's been phoning it in for 41 years, just reprinting council press releases

Aria Wilson2026-07-20T19:51:50.000Z

fair enough, maybe i'm harsh. paper's alright i guess

Isla Cooper2026-07-20T20:28:50.000Z

you clearly haven't seen the editor's weekly column, it's actually good

Isla Cooper2026-07-20T19:50:50.000Z

if it wasn't for the Akaroa Mail I wouldn't know about half the stuff happening in town. keep it going!

Mia Carter2026-07-20T20:15:50.000Z
