I remember three papers, one called The Sun the other the Herald.
One was better than the other, the Sun had comics, the Herald had sport.

The Age was in a league, an Australian favorite.
The Herald and Sun decided to join forces, and did so creating The Hearld Sun.

This made the Herald survive as a paper in the times that were to come,
the Herald was only popular in sport and was not going to survive as one of the best papers in the times we were heading, The Information Age.

The Age and the Herald Sun lived among us, both were successful and still have a great Audience in Australia.

In the timing in the joining of the first two papers,
one did not have enough to make it alone,
but joining with the popular Sun(which had the comics)
made the other paper stronger, and a wide Audience.

The Age has been a great paper and always will remain popular.
You buy the Age for business sections and stocks, it's a big paper, literally.

It might be a good idea for The Age to join forces with another paper,
but I think The Age just experienced what The Herald would have if they were still a separate paper.
People wanted more information from papers and the herald only mostly had sports

The Age has everything, but it's the state of the economic again that will decide what is going to happen.

The Age has survived but with a little damage in todays economic struggle, and had released workers
I think the paper will continue to remain, as long as The Age can keep up with the demand.

If the herald was not joined with the sun today, I don't think it would have survived,
it would have turned in to a racing guild.
