‘Spoof’ edition of Sunday Tribune costs Associated Newspapers around £150,000
Associated Newspapers has paid around £150,000 to a rival as compensations for a spoof edition of a Sunday tabloid that it printed.
According to The Guardian, a spoof edition of the Irish Tribune owned by Independent News & Media, was published by the Irish Mail on Sunday, a week after the closure of the Tribune.
The spoof was criticised as being an attempt to ‘pass itself off’ as the rival newspaper, with similar front and back pages.
