Fairfax to centralise newspaper production
Fairfax is taking a leaf out of APN's book with the announcement it will centralise some of its newspaper production. It means sub-editors based in two main centres - Wellington and Christchurch - will sub, lay out and produce pages for the Features, World and Business sections of its nine daily newspapers. Generic non-news pages such as TV and Weather will be standardised across the titles.
Sub-editors replaced by advertising designers
While some newspapers are downsizing their sub-editing teams, and some are outsourcing, it seems others are now doing away with them all together. UK regional newspaper company Archant is replacing sub-editors with advertising designers, according to the Guardian. Archant's newspaper arm publishes four regional dailies and around 60 weeklies.

The case for pick-and-mix newspapers
The other day a friend said: I'd subscribe to the paper if I could just have the bits that I want. I don't want the business section or the sport section or the careers section, just the news section and magazines. She doesn't like watching unread papers go straight into her groaning recycling bin. Me, I've no time for the magazines and would be happy with News, Business and a Technology section if there was one. You might well opt for News, Sport and nothing else, or just Sport.
