NEWSPAPER TENSIONS

The very day that Little Darwin was informed that two sub editors at the NT News got stroppy and one invited the other to step outside, there was a newsflash that the staff is going to be reduced by seven . Many of the paper’s pages are going to be made up at the Adelaide Advertiser . Sub editors have been asked to volunteer for redundancy. This on the paper which recently had a revamp and boasts it is your voice in the Territory. Dare we say that this voice will become influenced by soy milk latte slurping southerners. Adelaide reporters are notorious caffeine freaks and if ever an expresso machine explodes in Rundle Street East half the journos in the City of Churches and Gluttony will be rushed to the burns department at Royal Adelaide. It is also alleged that snorting took place there in the past , according to our informants. Oh Adelaide, when you lift your demure skirts you show a surprising pair of gams.
