In Melbourne, when you talk of The Truth newspaper, everyone immediately thinks of the buxom unclad woman on page 3, and of scurrilous yellow journalism. Sure, they had the tits and bums, but then so do the other major papers in Melbourne, you just have to look a little more closely to find them. Often leading the way in investigative journalism, and often trumping the larger papers because of their devoted attendance at the courts, The Truth, catered to the high-end, and the low end of the market at the same time. The other papers could never claim that. Size: Folio ( 12"- 15" tall ). Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Illustrator: Various. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.
