£2.95
That’s the combined price of the three Saturday broadsheets I bought today, The Guardian, The Independent and The Times. For that price, you get 182 broadsheet pages in over half a dozen sections, 196 pages in tabloid pull-outs and 396 pages in the weekend magazines. Oh, and a promotional DVD. Assuming a broadsheet page is twice the size of a tabloid one and that a magazine page is approximately 2/3 of a tabloid page, the grand total is nearly 300 broadsheet pages. That’s about ten times the amount of a Finnish weekday broadsheet.
So logically I would need to spend a week and a half reading these. But unfortunately that isn’t possible, because the Sunday papers are even bigger. How big? Find out tomorrow.
