I started this Thread as a serious post but have been interested in the wide range of opinions generated.

Of particular interest are the comments about the apparently large number of free copies which are delivered to RAF units and sections within same.

My supplementary, therefore, is 'what are the financials associated with this newspaper'? Does RAF News remain viable from the subscription income, casual purchases and advertising revenue and are the staff costs included in that equation? Given the parlous state of the defence budget, should RAF News be subjected to the same costed appraisal as much else in Defence and if found to be not cost effective, should it be canned?
