Metro International Chief Operating Officer Jens Torpe says the company expected to do well when it established "Metro" in Prague, but was surprised at the newspaper's ready acceptance and its quick turnaround from startup to profitable venture.
Newspapers were fading, they said, because young people didn't have time to read them and newspapers were so fat that advertisers feared their messages were drowning in the competitive flood.
Metro International's Torpe says the marketing experts and the newspaper people pooled their experience to turn the liabilities of traditional newspapers into assets for the "Metro" papers.

In addition, there are 124 newspaper boxes inside the stations next to the fare vending machines that are being made inaccessible until they are able to be physically removed from stations.
Many Metro stations have bicycle lockers so customers are able to conveniently ride their bicycles to a Metro station, place them inside secure lockers and then take Metro to work.

It used to be the metro daily was a regionwide source for national and international news and lots of lifestyle and cultural coverage.
True, metro papers have the resources to fund "big journalism" -- sending reporters overseas, devoting staff to investigatve work, etc. But cutbacks are affecting that too and the quality of "big journalism" lately has left much to be desired.
An additional characteristic of newspaper giants gets in the way of their changing: at virtually every level they're bone lazy and in too deep a slumber to be roused.

 Metro: Newspaper's FreeCityBus axe claims 'ridiculous'
"Because when asked to do so by the Yorkshire Evening Post Metro refused to prejudge the outcome of the six-month trial, when it is barely a quarter complete the paper ran a story with the alarming headline 'Free shuttle bus faces axe this summer'," said a Metro spokesman.
"The Yorkshire Evening Post would, quite rightly, be among the first to condemn Metro if it were to announce that we would be holding a six-month trial of a project, as is the case with FreeCityBus, and then make a decision on the project's future with just a quarter of the trial complete," he continued.
Metro told the Yorkshire Evening Post's reporter, while response to the FreeCityBus has, to date, been overwhelmingly positive, a decision on its future will be made, as it should be, at the end of the trial.
