Gay titles accused over distribution | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it

AN Office of Fair Trading investigation has been launched into allegations that two of Australia's largest gay street press publishers, Sydney-based Evolution Publishing and Brisbane's QNews, had misled advertisers by inflating their distribution numbers by as much as 300 per cent.


In one case, Evolution claimed its fortnightly title Queensland Pride was distributing 15,740 copies per issue at the end of last year when only 4970 copies were going out, according to information provided to the OFT in Queensland.
