New Zealand Herald thinks Colin James is boring - but nobody else does

Politics junkies will know by now that the NZ Herald has ditched the column from Colin James. Why? Apparently they wanted to cut costs and James told me earlier this week that his column was the "most boring". So he was cut. James offered it as a e-mailing list to all who inquired. But then the Dominion Post, the Waikato Times and The Press asked if they could run the column. The Otago Daily Times already runs it but not online, unfortunately.

So, four papers will run his column, but not online, apparently and everyone outside the circulation will be able to get it via email.
