The Herald goes totally tabloid
Posted by JC on August 11th, 2010
Shock! Horror! A disastrous earthquake!
North Island? South Island? The big one’s finally hit Wellington?
No. It’s in VANUATU, for god’s sake!! There apparently wasn’t much damage and no-one was hurt.
So what does the Herald do? Puts a great, blazing, misleading headline up to sell a few papers on the street.
This was once a serious newspaper. Now it’s just a tabloid rag.

perhaps the herald had a premonition.
could this-quite seriously- be related to our terrible earthquake?
