Sunday Times [TV Advertisement]

Advantages: Tremendous value for money
Disadvantages: Poor circulation sales

...newspapers. I progressed onto ‘the Sunday Express’ which I read for a couple of weeks. When I started work in 1984 I had moved on to ‘the Observer’. But a friend of my aunty said that ‘Observer’ readers were snooty so I gave that up. As I had only 30 minutes lunchbreak I could read ‘the Sun’ and finish my lunch within this time. In 1986 I moved to an IT firm which had Oxford and Cambridge graduates ...
...I started buying ‘the Sunday Times’ to increase my intellectual ability. It took 5 days to read my first copy. But the jump up from tabloid to broadsheet reading proved too much for me. I went back to the tabloids. At the back of my mind I felt that I was doing the right thing as 5 million people bought ‘the News of the World’ every Sunday as opposed to 1 million for ‘the Sunday Times’. In 1994 I started to read ... Read review

Advantages: Weighty, wide variety of sections, quality of writers
Disadvantages: Right-wing, unionist, owned by Murdock

...read I have read the Sunday Times every week. My father has bought it every Sunday, almost religiously, even before I came on the scene, so I had little choice. But now I’m a student, away from home and still buying it for myself. At this point I would like to point out that I completely disagree with the politics of The Sunday Times. I believe Rupert Murdock to be almost as big and evil a megalomaniac as the villain based on him in the Bond ...
...so to not buy The Sunday Time sin protest would be very hypocritical. The Sunday Times is a very big paper. Along with the conventional main section seen every day of the week is a wealth of other sections. For £1 it represents very good value. If I was to follow my weekly buying habits I would by the Observer, but I positively choose the ST because it represents the polar opposite to what I believe in. The main section constantly offers its racist, ... Read review

Advantages: Content, analysis, variety
Disadvantages: Some crappy bits

...advert strapline always says "The Sunday Times Is The Sunday Papers", and they're absolutely spot on. The paper gives extremely good value for money for its cover price of just £1.10. If you're too tight to fork out that much, then you can get the whole lot online each week at www.sunday-times.co.uk - I'm going to consider in detail the edition from May 13 2001, number 9,220. I started getting the ST regularly about five years ago and I've stuck ...
...somehow just tradition, like the Sunday roast, to have a lie in with the Sunday paper. I'm going to give a brief summary of the individual sections now so that you know exactly what you're getting for your dosh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Main Newspaper ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ST does the news extremely well, with very good writing and reporting, including excellent analysis of the implications and meaning of the events it ...

Advantages: Interesting, Something for everyone
Disadvantages: Weight for the poor news deliverer's

I only but the Sunday Times as it's the only day I really get to sit down and relax properly, so I prefer something that contains more than just scandal, lies and fornication material! The Sunday Times is a tabloid paper; well worth the current price of £1.20 as it contains 8 sections plus 3 magazines. At the end of each mammoth read it serves well to line my girlfriends cat litter tray.(Hence the title of my opinion) = SECTION ONE = ...
...this is devoted to the Sunday Times Enterprise Network which case studies a small business and offers improvement advice from a board of well known faces from big name companies. = SECTION FOUR = The Travel Section, this I find is one of the better sections, they usually start off with focusing on a certain travel destination(s) listing where,what,how and why? The next few pages are devouted to consumer issues such as readers rants ... Read review

Advantages: Quality, easy to read, very informative
Disadvantages: none

The Sunday Times must be the best newspaper on the market. Although the price has recently risen to £1.20 it is still cheaper than some trashy magazines that contain nothing. Where do I start? The new section is informative, articulate and fairly unbiased covering all oif the issues in the news to a full degree. the comment is also good, particularly the witty Jeremy Clarkson. Sport next, first class for football reports, great for all other sports ...
...Radio listings for the week. And then - once you've read it all it is Sunday again and you buy a new one. To be honest I don't have time to read it all, but I know what I like and would advise anyone to try it out on Sunday. ... Read review

Advantages: lots to read, not expensive for all the information provided
Disadvantages: heavy to carry back from the newagents

...of the high tides in various areas around the country as well in there as well. The Sunday times also reviews books, films, tv, theatre and music. You also get a listing magazine called the Culture so I don't have to go and buy a seperate listings mag, its all there in the one Sunday paper. Plus a travel section lots of different places review and good pictures. I remember one of the tv advertisments for the Sunday Times and this showed a family seperating the newpaper out between them before settling down to a good comfortable read, this is what happens in our house. As this paper has so much in it I find myself refering back to it during the week, or I might skim an articule on Sunday and put it on one side to read later in the week. At the moment I am reading the Sunday Times magazine articule on Columbus which is very... Read review
