...Olsen twins’ company could pay up to US$140 K to 185 former unpaid interns..

For some reason I want to say "how rude" or "have mercy".  :confused:

I understand that's where the Monday Magazine name came from. They were meant to fill the gap.


Don't be so sure.:cool:

Monday magazine has been around for about 40 years and was never published on monday so that's myth is busted it in no way represented anything mainstream media it always printed alternative stories that regular newspapers would not dare touch

WRONG.  They started publishing on Mondays since the Colonist didn't.  They soon found out that there was a reason a Monday paper was not very profitable.  It was not a day advertisers liked.

^That is correct. The alternate reason they later gave was that Monday was the deadline for Wednesday's paper. But yes, it originally came out on Monday.

What he's saying is the TC's decision is relevant to the Post.

Keep digging yourself a hole, HB.  The Colonist never had a Monday edition, at least not since before WW2.  The Times published M-Sa afternoons, and the Colonist Tu-Su mornings.  When they combined to become the TC in 1980, they kept the same schedules, except that the Saturday paper was the same issue, the afternoon subscribers now got their Saturday paper mid-morning.  Then later, the afternoon paper was dropped, and the morning paper became 7 days per week, until 2009.

 

 

And look what we have here.  Well, how about that, the first edition of Monday Magazine, July 7th, 1975.  A Monday.

Correct.  You just had to know where to go to get it on Wednesday afternoon a a few select downtown spots.  The bulk of them were delivered overnight Wednesday night.

 

Interesting reading that old MM.  So the first issue had 20,000, and they mailed them by Canada Post to a select list of people.  And then they asked that you contact them to delete delivery, or please pay them $5/yr. for a subscription if you can.  And it was 25 cents at newsstands.  They thought they'd at some point move to a fully paid subscription model.  I guess that never happened.

I'm pretty sure TC did have a Monday edition, the no Monday paper only started a few years ago IIRC.

 

Edited to add

 

The Times Colonist is published six days a week (Tuesday to Sunday - before June 2009 it was published seven)

I read Colonist and assumed TC. I knew I had a Monday paper delivered for awhile anyways. Now I save the Driving and Homes section to read with my cereal and coffee Monday mornings.
