Talk:Newspaper vending machine

Criticism?
One article from the 1980's about some irate old man in Miami who took a newspaper vending machine 'hostage' does not widespread criticism make. I deleted the section, although I must say that I found reading the source very enjoyable. Blast from the past, that was. IRSpeshul (talk) 00:05, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Presence in the UK
This article claims newspaper vending machines have been used worldwide. Unless my memory fails me, such vending machines are not commonplace in the United Kingdom and have not been since at least the 1990s with newspapers traditionally sold by human vendors either in the street or in newsagent's shops.
