Could the Daily Sport be the first newspaper to collapse in 2009?
January 8, 2009
Just about every media pundit seems to expect a high profile casualty of the recession this year, with the Independent and the Star regularly touted as the papers most likely to disappear or, at least, suffer a redesign so severe that they’re barely recognisable.
But what of the Daily Sport? For despite its critics, the Sport is a newspaper, one whose first-ever female editor promised to retain its traditions by ensuring that it would feature “babes, babes and more and more sexy babes”. But with shares in its owner, Sport Media Group, tumbling, can the Sport survive? And if it goes, will anyone care?
