Menzies: Sun on Sunday damages newspaper industry

Newspaper distributor John Menzies today warned the launch of the Sun on Sunday was hitting the Sunday newspaper market as its low cover price attracted readers from rivals.

Menzies, which handles around five million newspapers and 2.1m magazines each day, said the Sun on Sunday, priced at €1 (50p in the UK), had taken share from the likes of the Sunday Mirror and Mail on Sunday.
