Advantages: Good for finding out what all that commotion was on a previous day

Disadvantages: Too much filler!

This paper makes me laugh, some of the 'News' is so mundane, surely no-one actually is interested in that?!

The beauty of The Argus is that it has a very dedicated following, and local people who do read it every day, every week. For them I can see a few good points; it tells you what's happening in the local area, which is good if you're a bit mobility restricted and can't gert out much - it makes people feel more in touch with the community - albeit that said community is normally painted in a bad light by commonly exaggerated behaviour of the youths... People seem to like the letters page, and the weather and listings can be pretty useful too. Catching up with local sport is quite easy with the Argus and if your brother's best mate's uncle plays for Burgess Hill Football Club, for example, you may want to keep up with their scores.

When out of work, some of my friends will buy the Argus routinely on a Thursday for the jobs section. There is normally the most random array of jobs from Morning Cleaner to Business Development Executive so finding one suitable isn't always successful, but well done them for trying.

Summary: Losing importance over the years
