having worked with a newspaper i disagre with ur view that a paper without ads make for better reading. actually people buy the news paper for the ads in it!!! how will u know about a sale or promotional offers if u dont advertise it in the papers??esp in a country like Qatar where promotional offers via the net havent really cought on. Gulf times carries way too many ads. and thats why people want to buy the paper. and more ads means they are doing well financially. the distrubution revenue doesnt contribute much to the profit. i feel peninsula has better layout styles than the Gulf times but they dont carry as many ads. Editorial content in all papers is mere cut and paste from other newspapaers on the net !!!!
