Just an update on getting world cup coverage in the media, etc. I catch the train home and the MX paper handed out free is very popular, especially when you see school kids reading a paper for the first time!

Anyway, I noticed none of the WC qualifying games made the sports but the sport section actually has "Something to add?", so I emailed a link (around 9:30am) to a report on the Samoa v Lebanon game, and low & behold it appeared that afternoon. I thought it too coincidental a story finally appeared. It may only be small but the readership of the MX among workers & school kids is quite a large & captive audience.

I shall continue to email links to international results in 2008 as they appear.

Great option.

MX is an awesome resource for us to use. I read it everyday

Great work. I used to send a few things to MX when I was in Sydney. I think MX is very important, as a fair portion of the ciy workers read it on the way home every night. I've also noticed since being in London that the free papers are abolutely dominating the market here. I think in general the concept is dominated by lazy journos. So anything you can send them will help.

I think MX is also a perfect vehicle to place the same print ad as th RLIF placed in the Tele when WC tix were launched...

Not only is it a free papers that most CBD workers accept, they also leave it on the train where others pick it up. This paper ends up in places like the South Coast (WIN Stadium matches) Central Coast and Newcastle (Bluetongue and EAS matches) and the Blue Mountains...
