Our newsagents are the hub of news in the UK and furthermore when the sun rises over the horizon a new day commences. No this is not another odious 'Premier Inn advert, 'it 's a wonderful, wonderful life... ' Although, I 'm sure 'the New Day ' would glow over the horizon at the optimism; I 'm referring to the newest kid on the newsagent 's block: 'The New Day. ' It has been in print for over a fortnight now and I 've been excited at the prospect of sniffing new print; in addition to perusing extra literature in newspaper format. There is only so much clicking of dynamic-text a human being should do, and I 've a notion 'the New Day ' recognises …show more content…
Possibly a symptom of austere measures across the spectrum; austere does profound things in societal terms in regards to 'choice, ' even for the affluent.

Western governance actually encourages these operations and ironically calls it 'having a greater choice. ' On a personal note, l tend to do an 'involuntary appraisal ' on new products I try out; 'The New Day ' is no different. We all do it! Some do it subconsciously others don 't.

About five years ago I had a lengthily conversation with an influential 'Business Angel ' who laid out the pathway to a successful enterprise. I unusually was quiet and I listened intently to his future prophecies, he stated: 'websites are not the future; social media outlets for businesses are ' - 'by not doing enough 'tweets ' or social updates would leave you out in the cold in a business sense; worse still, your competitors will notice this quicker than you, they 'll be a step ahead. ' Now down the pathway five years on, business marketing streams are morphing into our lives protrusively - a necessary malevolent of super-capitalism; whether or not you 're for it or against it. For me, 'the New Day ' as a valid source of information, it 's insufficient and plays to the rule of oversimplification. The weather map at the back of the paper reminds me of children playing magnetic letters on a fridge; ultimately it sums up the
