JACKSON IN PRINT: THE DEMAND CONTINUES

Last week I reported that copies of Thailand's newspapers featuring the death of Michael Jackson were being sold on eBay.
In the past few days some have sold. Copies of The Nation (US$9.99), The Bangkok Post (US$9.99) and Kom Chad Luek (US$4.99) have attracted single bids whereas others have remained unsold.
The frenzy for Michael Jackson newspapers and magazines is global. Mark Fletcher, author of the Australian Newsagency blog and a newsagent himself, said last week: "We could have sold four times our Time and Rolling Stone allocation. Hopefully, publishers will reprint as I suspect the appetite for Michael Jackson retrospectives is a way off being satisfied."
