Am looking at their website at the trending/most popular 'news' and the paper looks more like a tabloid with every passing day. A quick glance at the homepage shows that these are the most popular news:

Son catches mother in the act
Village chief dies after month long erection
Forty? Kiss intimacy bye
Teacher jailed for taking teen out for lunch
Lovebirds nabbed during a steamy romp in company car

What is happening? And why are some of the 'news' appearing in the gutter Kenyan-post? Who is copying from who?

They have a strategy advisor? maybe they are reaching out to a defined 'niche' market.

By the way the paper is called Substandard newspaper and not Standard newspaper.

Crossed what line? Standard newspaper is a 'tabloid'. Their forte is sensational stories so I think they are well within the line.

BBI will solve it :)
