No on line editions of the Mercury for 6 weeks, so they have a 30p off coupon for readers. I wonder why there is no e- edition, maybe the sales have taken a big tumble? http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/hertfordshiremercury/DisplayArticle.asp?ID=315448

I have just received the email and I have just got the same message. Maybe the company providing the content has moved on.

How bizarre. I got the email as well but the online edition IS available ... http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?referral=other&pnum=&refresh=8Ym1G02g1rN6&EID=cdb17379-eccc-41d7-be17-6fa4d4faf808&skip=true You just can't rely on The Mercury to get their facts right can you! [:D]

So what's going on I'm a little confused, how did you find that Steve. Will the Mercury make this the Headlines in next weeks edition?
Reply ID 64524
If you go to any online edition and click on "View Archive" in the top left-hand corner you can see all the available editions. I just went to a previously cached copy and did that and all the available editions popped up, including this week's.

Great minds eh Steve - I did exactly the same thing. [Edit -- added the following] Actually the voucher is valid for 6 weeks - it says that they hope to have the online edition back "as soon as possible".

I assume it is an experiment to gauge the impact on sales when the online presence is not available.

I think the Mercury must rate as one of the most useless newspapers I've ever read, where is the coverage of Folly@thefolly? why do they claim that a film shot almost entirely in Woolmer Green and Knebworth is a triumph for Ware?
Reply ID 66274
I agree. I looked at a someones copy today and couldn't believe that the Folly wasn't mentioned. And they wonder why their sales are plummeting.

The Mercury is dross. Let's open it at random. Page 7: 'Teacher who threw herself into village life dies at 96 A well-known teacher...has died aged 86' And on the same page: 'The sister of a Tonwell-born man have paid tribute to him' Still on page 7, a story about Defoe states he is 'pictured left' - there is no picture All this on one page! The County Town deserves a better newspaper than this appalling garbage.
Reply ID 66283
quote:The Mercury itself aside, what sort of things would you expect to see in a local paper? These are all local stories - it sounds like the two people who died would have been well known in their communities, so many people would have been interested in the news they had died, and in reading a bit about them. I've less patience for Defoe story as I feel that local papers try too hard to make local celebrity links to stories, but he does live in the area covered by the Mercury. The Folly@theFolly story was in last week's Mercury, but I agree it would have been more useful to have been in this week's.

quote:I think you've completely missed the point. It's the sloppy editing. In the headline the dead teacher is 96 and then in the first sentence of the article she's 86. How come the author AND the editor or anyone else in-house who read this missed this very obvious mistake before the paper went to print? It's not very respectful to the family either. Similarly, the mixing of singular and plural in the same sentence is glaring, as is the lack of the picture in the Defoe item. And of course there's the fact that they don't even know their own newspaper is published online.

They can't even get it right when somebody else has done the research for them. In this week's Mercury there is an article on the Griff Rhys-Jones 'Rivers' tv episode about the River Lea, which featured Hertford (discussed on another thread). In the article it says that the New River was completed in 1613, during the reign of Charles I, even though Griff Rhys-Jones said (correctly) that it was completed during the reign of James I.
Reply ID 66301
It is also typical to tell us what has happened when you may have missed it, should they not have said the week before there was a programme coming up featuring the Lea and Hertford. I have often thought they feature all sorts of things like concerts, flower festivals, charity fund raisers after they have happened where it would be nice to know in advance!

We paid, well in advance, for a big advert to go in the Mercury a week before the concert - but it appeared in the issue published a day before the concert, a week after the issue we had requested and far too late for it to be of any benefit to us. The following year we did another charity concert at Castle Hall and tried to advertise the event in the Mercury again. The advert didn't appear at all and when we asked why, we were told that they had lost the copy we had given them with all the information on it and that they were profusely sorry. We gave up after that. The Mercury is a joke. I buy it once a month because we have an indoor cat and it makes a good litter tray liner [xx(] - That's about the only endorsement I could give it.[:D]

Low points of this weeks edition: 1) Photo of the week - an out of focus flower 2) 'Superkids' competition - to those parents calling your kids Miley (2), Kassidy, Meadow and Ryleigh be very ashamed. In the last example I am assuming the parents are copying the Beckhams and naming the child after the place of conception - but they are not too good at spelling. [:o)]

Whilst this topic is very lightly based around Hertford as an assessment of the newspaper that serves it, I see no point in ridiculing childrens names, you must be very proud to use your critical intelligence in such a way. I was unaware that either the paper or Hertford in its broadest sense had the ability to name children in any event?
Reply ID 69533
Its a feature article in our local paper so I consider it eligable for comment on this forum - whether or not it also pertains to dumbness on a wider scale. No child ever thanked his or her parents for using a "creative" spelling. Imagine, years of people mispronouncing your name, misspelling it, and giving you odd looks as a result. It irks me beyond belief that parents insist on this cruel vanity. I know of a child at the school my son attends whose middle name is 'Blu' - not as in the colour but as in the tack. Idiots. If people really must name their kids after here today gone tomorrow teen pop singers or misspelled Essex towns then thats fine - but I reserve the right to call them tw*ts for doing so. Are we agreed on the crappy out of focus flower though?

Point 2 - I agree wholeheartedly with your view of 'modern' names - but I will also defend the right of parents to call their child whatever they like. I'm sure there is someone somewhere who has all of the members of the 1960's Leeds F. C. team as his middle name - and why not! Let's face it, anyone can change their name if they want to. On a lighter note - I'm assuming you have a personal interest in ridiculous names, LEO DENSIAN [;)] Back on topic - I love the Mercury - always have done, always will do, BECAUSE it's local and quirky. That's what local papers are all about - and local online forums!

Is the news in Herts so good that they want to tell us a day earlier?
Reply ID 70050
DQ's friend is in the classified ads section and there are three very good reasons they have brought the mercury forward a day 1) for people/organisations running an event over the weekend, the extra day earlier announcement means people can plan a bit more and 2) for those looking for jobs, they have the ability to ring up on the Friday if they wish to get the information and 3) the reckon an extra day on the shelves will shift a few more copies.. Reasons 1) and 3) were the main reasons.. Hope this helps...
Reply ID 70054
I can understand reasons 1 and 2, but how can it be on the shelves for an extra day? Surely any edition will now be on the shelves from Thursday to Wednesday instead of from Friday to Thursday - both of which are seven day periods?
Reply ID 70082
I dont understand 2 either .
Reply ID 70144
quote:I can't imagine reasons 1 and 2 are genuine reasons for such a big move. I'd say the extra day on the shelf means that by the time Monday comes around most people consider the Friday's paper to be last week's paper (remember the Rolling Stones' song Who wants yesterday's papers?) Therefore shifting sales forward a day means shoppers have Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (rather than just 3 days) to buy "this week's paper". Doesn't make much sense unless you consider it like that [8D]

Remember when one of them was on a Sky documentary driving around Hertford arranging a meeting in a layby off the A414 with a member of the Illuminati? [:)] Over the years they appeared in the Mercury cashing in on various stories from templars and dead swans to the 7/7 terrorist attacks. When their pet hack, Raymond Brown, left the Mercury, we heard less of them. If this lady is related, you have to admire the family's knack for self-publicity. It's depressing to note that journalistic standards in the Mercury haven't improved at all since 2004.

Never mind the front page of this week's edition, have you seen the weather forecast on page 2? Sub-zero overnight temperatures and a snow shower on Sunday. Do they know something Dell Boy doesn't?

When this was announced in the actual paper a couple of weeks ago there was reference to people who subscribe to the actual paper getting free e-editions. I've not been able to find anything about subscriptions to the paper - anyone know anything?
