Newspapers 'disappear' in Manado

MANADO, North Sulawesi: Newspapers were hardly seen in Manado on
Thursday, as people were still celebrating the Idul Fitri
holiday.

Shops and newsstands were mostly closed, while newspaper
deliverers were a rarity, too.

Among local newspapers published in Manado are Manado Post,
Global News, Komentar, Posko and Metro.

Local and national newspapers, generally, did not publish on
Tuesday and Wednesday, as they were national holidays.

However, many newspapers also decided not to publish on Monday
and Thursday, without prior notice.

Due to the absence of newspapers, locals relied on television
and radio to keep in touch with what was happening nationwide
during the Idul Fitri holiday. -- Antara
