Advantages: Good read

Disadvantages: Too much unrelated news.

The Daily mail seems to have been around since the dawn of time.
Its a good paper with respect to its articles about general goings on but I feel it is badly let down on current news items.
It fevotes about the first 10 pages to that particular day's events and then fills the rest of the 60 odd pages up with a load of waffle obviously written days or even months ago by their pompus guest writers such as Dempster.
to me, it seems you can by one copy of the daily mail a week and have enough reading for a few days.
This is the idea for Sunday papers and that is fine. Full of interesting articles that are not news based. When I buy a newspaper, I expect to read the NEWS. Not about the secret lives of some unknown sculpter or the interesting points of Katmandu.
To improve the Mail, they need to concentrate more on what has been going on that day in the news and less on these other articles. Leave those for the Sunday supplement.
The sports section in the daily mail is particularly good. It does not have the tacky pull out GOALS section that is banded around by the lesser tabloids on a monday but does have a concise report about all the important Premiership games. It also hasd a good racing section and a bit about other sports too. The results from around the world is normall well outdated though with American football and Ice hockey results from USA sometimes taking 2 days to appear.

Not a bad paper, but not the best. More suited to my parents.
