Advantages: Nice to read it
Disadvantages: None
I live in London and I spend a lot of time abroad on business. I cannot think of many things I miss about London, but surely the newspaper "Evening Standard" is one of those very few, or may be the only one!
The Evening Standard is published 5 times during the day, and it can be bought starting around Midday. I admire them for the fact that they bring you fresh news of the day with full coverage, photos and all the rest. Some time things happen at 10am and they are in the paper at 3pm.
They only publish it from Monday to Friday, each day they have a supplement on a different topic. I like the one on property. I think it is fair to describe them as a local newspaper, because they are only available in London, but they cover both local issues and National ones. They allow journalists from different backgrounds to write, so that you have Jewish writers, like Cohen, next to muslim writers.
I am particularly keen to read the section on finance and life in the City, they are always coming up with some very well thought and written article.
They used to be cheap, but they put up their price to the current level of 50 pennies. To me the Evening Standard is a faithful companion on the way back home on the train, I cannot think of my journey without the paper anymore! As I said, I miss it when I am not in London because it really makes me feel part of the City I live in, and at the same time, it has a good coverage on International affairs. I read local and national papers when I am abroad as well, since I speak few European languages, and I rate the Evening Standard a pretty much unique paper, for its angle, its coverage and the fact that it is the newspaper of a city like London, which is pretty much unique.
Summary: One of the few things I miss about London
